Seems like you mix us with Arabs. We care neither about camels nor blond women. Who would prefer English women over Persians anyway?

The CH-4Bs seem to fall out of the sky frequently, even without the help of SAMs.

Actually, it's a response by the Iranian side to previous Israeli attacks on Iranian tankers in the Med and Red Sea.

The Suez canal is blocked by huge containership. It can take weeks to restore maritime traffic. Eisenhower CSG wont be able to get to Persian Gulf anytime soon. Window of opportunity for Houties. ?

Oh, grandad used to advise me and others: “better have two 20 year old ladies than a 40 year old one.”
Bit of a hassle, but still a point and advice to follow as much as can be.

Was the Ike supposed to go through the Suez canal? It could always go around Africa if it was needed, but it would take several days. Anyway, Makin Island just left the Persian Gulf on it's way to Diego Garcia and the Teddy Roosevelt CBG in in the SCS, so plenty of assets around.
The bigger issue is the disruption of maritime traffic.
