So far, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has lasted for more than two months, adding chaos to the already complicated region of the Middle East. Iran and Israel can be said to be feuding, two people of different religions are on the same land, and there are too many disputes due to cultural differences. After the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Israel's actions in Gaza can be regarded as a unilateral massacre, committing war crimes, and being spurned by countries around the world. Iran, as Israel's sworn enemy, has stood up to confront Israel, whether because of humanitarianism or because of related interests.
So far, five regional forces in the Middle East have attacked Israel: Iranian militias, Syrian Shiites, Lebanese Allah, Yemeni Houthis, and Hamas, all of which have strong ties to Iran. This is especially true of Yemen's Houthi rebels, the only armed group other than Hamas to officially declare war on Israel. Recently, Israel has issued warnings and threats on maritime transport, saying that as long as Israel does not release relief supplies destined for Gaza, Yemen's Houthis will not release Israeli cargo ships for a single day.
In order to support Israel, the United States decided to deter the Red Sea region controlled by Yemen, and this deterrence is not to scare Yemen, if it is really done with a knife. Because the United States is now about to start planning a new war, not for Israel, nor for the eradication of the Houthis in Yemen, but for a larger conspiracy, which is to drive a wedge between Iran and Saudi Arabia. As a small armed force in the Middle East, Yemen is naturally no match for a big country like the United States, especially in the face of such a strong naval and military force. But what if the U.S. aims not at all for the Houthis?
As we all know, the United States has deployed military bases in the Middle East not only in Syria, Iraq and other regions, but also in Saudi Arabia. If the U.S. and Yemeni Houthis officially go to war, the U.S. military bases deployed in Saudi Arabia are very likely to be targeted by the Yemeni Houthis, given the distance between Yemen and Saudi Arabia. In this way, Yemen's Houthis will attract the resentment of Saudi Arabia, and the Houthis are behind Iran, which is likely to renew the conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia. If Iran wants to solve this problem, it will have to solve the problem at the source and demand that Yemen withdraw its troops in the Red Sea from now on. But in doing so, it loses the initiative in confrontation with the United States and Israel, so Iran is now very distressed.
Many people will wonder why the United States did not declare war on Yemen earlier? All along, the United States has not launched an attack on the Houthis, not because the United States does not want to, but because the United States has not found a reason. And this time, the way the Houthi forces in Yemen handled the blockade of the strait gave the United States an opportunity to attack. The recombination of Iran and Saudi Arabia has not only increased China's influence, but also gradually distanced Saudi Arabia from the United States, which has greatly affected the interests of the United States. Therefore, if the United States wants to plan a new war now, it depends on whether Iran wants to jump into it.
