The way out, then, is to utilize strategic bombers, which have seen little action since the disintegration of the USSR. Background Anti-ship hypersonic missiles made news around 2010...

U.S. and Netherlands officials formalized a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LoA) agreement to purchase Lockheed Martin’s Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile Extended Range (JASSM-ER). With this agreement, the Netherlands becomes JASSM’s fifth international customer. “We’re honored to partner with the U.S. Government to provide the Netherlands Armed Forces with the combat proven and mission effective weapon system to meet their ever-evolving strategic defense needs.” said Scott Redmerski, JASSM program director at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. JASSM has experienced over 20 years of successful partnership with the U.S. Air Force, providing continued significant long-range, precision engagement capabilities for air-to-ground missions. The combat proven and mission effective weapon system is designed to destroy high-value, well-defended targets from significant standoff range, keeping aircrews well out of danger from hostile air defense systems without compromise to lethality or reach.

#Iran's influence extends beyond the Red Sea, where it arms the #Yemen's #Houthis/#Houthi. It has also provided at least five Zolfaghar (Peykaap III) class fast patrol craft to the Bolivarian Navy of Venezuela. These vessels are equipped with two single anti-ship missile launchers capable of firing Kowsar/Nasr missiles, as well as being compatible with Chinese C-701/FL-10 torpedoes. With this transfer of #Iranian arms, a potential threat now looms 2,432.39 nautical miles south of the United States of America's coastline in the western hemisphere, within the Caribbean Sea. https://lnkd.in/e_Yda7WX
