This time, it seems that the situation in the Red Sea is really going to completely get out of control and break out into war, and the United States and the West will also be directly involved in the chaotic and turbulent situation war in the Middle East, and will be forced to show their "fists" and directly confront the Yemeni Houthi rebels! According to relevant reports, after the US Navy sank three Houthi small boats and eliminated about 10 Houthi armed members, pushing the already tense situation in the Red Sea to an even more dangerous situation, Britain suddenly jumped up again in recent days and once again threw a fire on the already very dangerous situation.
It is reported that British Defense Secretary Shapps recently publicly stated that Britain will take direct action to curb the threat to freedom of navigation in the Red Sea. According to the relevant information revealed by the British media, Britain is indeed preparing to launch an air attack on the Houthis in conjunction with the United States, and may even use fighter jets and the USS Diamond missile destroyer to launch missiles at pre-planned military targets.
At the same time, Britain will join the United States in issuing an unprecedented ultimatum warning the Houthis to stop their attacks on merchant ships or face Western military power. Obviously, from this series of actions, we can clearly see that Britain is determined to wade into the "troubled waters" of the Red Sea with the United States this time, and this so-called ultimatum is in fact not much different from the declaration of war, and the fierce war in the Red Sea region seems to be indeed inevitable this time.
However, don't look at the United States and the West so aggressively, in fact, they still have one of the biggest worries and fears, that is, Iran behind the Houthis. If the United States and the West provoke a war against the Houthis, then Iran, as the biggest supporting force behind the Houthis, will certainly not sit idly by, and the war in the entire Red Sea region may completely get out of control.
This is also the reason why before the United States and Britain made ruthless remarks this time, British Foreign Secretary Cameron also had a special conversation with the Iranian foreign minister, making it clear that Iran has the responsibility to prevent the Houthis from launching attacks, and Cameron's move is nothing more than to achieve two goals. First, the United States and the West are still clinging to the last bit of luck and trying to persuade Iran to "turn big things into small things", so as to avoid the outbreak of war.
Second, it is to explain to the Iranian side that its attack on the Houthis is to prevent its attack on the Red Sea shipping lanes, so it is "reasonable" that the Iranian side should not interfere in this matter. From all this, we can clearly see that the United States and Britain are indeed quite jealous of Iran, and are very afraid of Iran's involvement in the Red Sea situation this time.
Sure enough, not long after the threat of the US and the West against the Houthis was issued, the Iranian side immediately began to take action, directly responding to the US and the West with practical actions, and expressing its attitude.
According to Reuters, citing relevant reports from Iranian media, the Iranian destroyer "Alborz Mountains" has recently passed through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and sailed into the Red Sea. In the current situation of extremely tense situation in the Red Sea, the sudden arrival of Iranian naval ships in the Red Sea is obviously a heavy warning signal.
First of all, the Iranian side has expressed its strong support for the Houthis in Yemen, once the Red Sea war starts, then Iran is likely to directly intervene, and the fantasy of the United States and the West gathering a group of American and Western countries to beat the Houthis is impossible to realize, with the full support of Iran and other Middle Eastern countries and forces, as long as the United States and the West dare to act, they will inevitably be mired in the quagmire of the war in Yemen.
Secondly, Iranian warships operating in the Red Sea region also have an important task, that is, to ensure the safety of the Red Sea waterway, Iran's move shows that it is not involved in the planning of the Houthi attack on the Red Sea waterway, clarifies itself, and also ruthlessly connotates the United States and the West, why can Iranian ships and ships effectively escort merchant ships through the Red Sea without being attacked, and the United States and Western troops gather, but they can't do it at all?
In the final analysis, it is the United States and the West that support Israel, which has committed numerous crimes in Gaza, that is unpopular, and if the United States and the West really want to open up the Red Sea shipping lane, the only effective way is to immediately stop Israel's military operations in Gaza and withdraw its troops.
It is worth mentioning that Iran has also publicly stated that once the United States provokes a war in the Red Sea to attack the Houthis, then Iran will not turn a blind eye and will take action. However, the United States and the West do not seem to believe Iran's statement very much, and always think that Iran is just bluffing. This time, Iran directly dispatched warships to the Red Sea, which is undoubtedly a great deterrent to the United States and the West, making them understand that they are doing what they say.
All in all, the current situation in the Red Sea has reached a very dangerous situation, and the United States and the West, Iran, and the Houthis are all-for-tat and refusing to give in to each other, and war can be described as imminent. But again, in the end, no side is the winner, and in the end, it is the countless ordinary people who suffer the disaster, so I still hope that all parties can maintain their sanity and solve the problem through peaceful means to avoid the situation getting out of control further.
