We must all recognize that only global strength can force Russia to make peace. And that is why we are working to involve as many countries as possible in the Peace Summit in Switzerland, as well as relevant communication.
We must all recognize that Putin will attempt to thwart this effort and weaken Ukrainian positions through various manipulations and the power of his terrorist strikes.
All of our positions must now be equally strong, whether on the battlefield, in diplomacy, or in the information sphere. For us to apply pressure and get closer to our goals, the occupiers must lose their ability to exert pressure and accomplish anything for themselves.
Our strength, capabilities, weapons, and unity with partners must all work together. And they will.
BREAKING - YOUR REACTION: In case you missed this today, President Joe Biden awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Nancy Pelosi and described her as the "greatest speaker of the House of Representatives in history,” adding that “On Jan. 6, Nancy stood in the breach defending democracy,” and
that "She used her superpower to pass some of the most significant laws in our nation's history.” Biden added, “Nancy is a brillant, practical, principled and determined leader." What do you make of all that? The praises? The highest award to a civilian in the United States?
CENTCOM Intercepts Iranian Weapons Shipment Intended for Houthis
TAMPA, Fla. – A U.S. Coast Guard cutter, forward deployed to the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility, seized advanced conventional weapons and other lethal aid originating in Iran and bound to Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen from a vessel in the Arabian Sea on Jan. 28.
The U.S. Coast Guard Sentinel-class fast-response cutter USCGC Clarence Sutphin Jr (WPC 1147), assigned to U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, located the vessel and boarded it in the Arabian Sea. The boarding team discovered over 200 packages that contained medium-range ballistic missile components, explosives, unmanned underwater/surface vehicle (UUV/USV) components, military-grade communication and network equipment, anti-tank guided missile launcher assemblies, and other military components.
The direct or indirect supply, sale or transfer of such aid violates U.N. Security Council Resolution 2216 (as extended and renewed by resolutions 2675 and 2707).
“This is yet another example of Iran’s malign activity in the region, ” said Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, CENTCOM commander. “Their continued supply of advanced conventional weapons to the Houthis is in direct violation of international law and continues to undermine the safety of international shipping and the free flow of commerce.”
CENTCOM is committed to working with our allies and partners to counter the flow of Iranian lethal aid in the region by all lawful means including U.S. and U.N. sanctions and through interdictions.
