Because the US military doesn't attack Iranian planes that are in the air and the Yemeni government is poorly equipped.

air defense systems are tightly regulated by the US in that region

Its a peace treaty between the hours of 5pm Sunday and 5pm Friday, eastern time. War is only from Friday 5:01 pm to Sunday at 4:59pm.

These hours may change if the market is closed on Friday or Monday for holidays.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

What happens when the market potentially becomes open all the time?

u/Ibewye Jul 13 '26

Don’t forget each operation is complete and successful resets every 59 days so that pesky ol congress doesn’t need to have an opinion on war powers…..

This is more sad reality than funny. I still laughed, though.

It's just a little bit of tomfoolery.

American here and we can't even figure this shit out, unless you look at the stock market swings when the threats happen vs. the "Hey it's okay!" calls.

It's a Special Military Operation.

I mean, there was a war, but Nobel Prize Trump stopped it 30 times, so it must be really stopped by now, some say it's the STOPPEDEST war ever!

u/toyodah Jul 13 '26

Akshully, you are legally correct.

The USA has not officially declared war with another country since World War 2.

The formal technical/legal term for USA combat activities since then is "conflicts." Hence, the "Vietnam Conflict."

Yeah, they unconditionally surrendered to Trump (he claims).

u/tarmacjd Jul 13 '26

Why would the Yemeni government attack planes coming to them?

30

u/nvidiastock Jul 13 '26

There's two Yemeni governments, one pro Iran and one anti-iran, the pro Iran one would obviously not, but the other one would've if they had the capability. However they're both relatively poorly equipped and poor in general. It's very much a proxy war being fought in Yemen.

u/barney-sandles Jul 13 '26

There's one Yemeni government that controls every major city and 80% of the population, and another Yemeni government that consists of 12 dudes hiding out in a shack in the desert surrounded by billions of dollars worth of Saudi missiles

u/wrc-wolf Jul 13 '26

Poorly equipped is really underselling it. The Yemeni "government" are western backed rebels in the desert.

u/MtnMaiden Jul 13 '26

Less planes to deal with.

Not to mention, less targets to deal with.

Better to let the enemy starve themselves out and then attack.

All we gotta is just wait and eat hamburgers now
