Third Houthi terrorist attack on commercial shipping vessel in three days

<p>Info comes via US CentCom just coming in:</p><ul><li>On January 18 at approximately 9 p.m. (Sanaa time), Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists launched two anti-ship ballistic missiles at M/V Chem Ranger, a Marshall Island-flagged, U.S.-Owned, Greek-operated tanker ship. </li><li>The crew observed the missiles impact the water near the ship.</li><li> There were no reported injuries or damage to the ship.</li><li> The ship has continued underway.</li></ul><p>Alls well that ends well. For now at least. </p><p>**</p><p>The US military is continuing to walk a fine line between seeking to diminish Houthi ability to launch attacks (air strikes on Houthi terrorist facilities) and not provoking Iran too much and escalating conflict even further. </p><p>Markets, meanwhile, are not reacting to such developments as they were only last week. </p>
