The United States and Iran have been "enemies" for a long time, and in fact, the relationship between the United States and Iran has not always been so tense, and the United States and Iran were close allies during the Pahlavi dynasty of Iran. At present, Iran also has a large number of weapons and equipment from the United States, which were provided to Iran by the United States during the "honeymoon period". After the United States and Iran turned against each other, the United States began to turn to support Iraq, but the United States launched a war of invasion of Iraq in 2003, so it seems that the United States has no permanent allies, only eternal interests. Since the late 70s of the last century, the United States has encircled and contained Iran, and the United States has imposed sanctions on Iran in many fields to this day.
Since October 17, 2022, the Yemeni Houthis have announced a blockade of Israel in the Red Sea, and the Yemeni Houthis have banned Israeli ships and Israeli-related ships from entering and leaving the Red Sea. According to the information released by the U.S. Central Command, nearly 20 merchant ships have been hit by Yemen's Houthi forces so far, and on December 31, 2023, a container ship named Maersk-Hangzhou was attacked by Yemeni Houthi forces, and then the U.S. Navy used two Aegis missile destroyers to rescue the incident area.
Judging from the information released by the US Navy, there was an encounter between the US Navy and the Yemeni Houthis, during which the US Navy sank three Yemeni Houthi ships through MH-60R/S Sea Hawk helicopters. After the US Navy attacked the Houthi ships in Yemen, Tehran has already reacted, according to information released by the Iranian media, the Iranian Navy has sent a missile destroyer into the waters of the Red Sea and began a combat deployment at the doorstep of Yemen, so there is quite a rhythm for the Yemeni Houthis to stand up, and at the critical moment Iran has released a clear signal in the Red Sea, and the Red Sea is not the United States has the final say.
The relationship between the United States and Israel is not ordinary, and the relationship between Iran and the Houthis in Yemen is very close, and the relationship between the two sides is that of an alliance. The Iranian Navy's use of guided missile destroyers to the waters of the Red Sea will put enormous pressure on the U.S. Navy, because the Iranian Navy dares to approach the U.S. Navy's Aegis guided missile destroyers and thus control the movements of the U.S. Navy. In fact, the Houthis in Yemen have a variety of weapons that can hit the US Navy, including anti-ship missiles and drones, etc., if Iran provides corresponding intelligence, it will put the US Navy in a very passive situation, so the Iranian Navy missile destroyers enter the Red Sea, and it is the US Navy that should be feared.
The United States and Iran are mortal enemies, and when the United States wants to deal with the Houthis in Yemen, it is clear that Iran will not sit idly by, so there is a situation where missile destroyers are deployed in the Red Sea. Iran is also quite high-profile about the use of missile destroyers to enter the Red Sea, and it released relevant information at the first time, which is tantamount to sending a warning to the United States. With the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Middle East region has fallen into a new crisis, and the United States has played a very disgraceful role in it, the United States has supported Israel, so that Israel dares to attack the Palestinian Gaza Strip with impunity, and the Yemeni Houthis dare to say no to Israel at a critical moment, thus beginning the blockade of Israel.
