The aircraft carrier was powerful, the B-1 bomber attacked in the middle of the night, and the US military, which did not talk much, finally started a revenge plan against the Islamic resistance group. On February 2 and 3, the U.S. military launched large-scale airstrikes on Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. In the operation against Iraqi militias, the US military even dispatched B-1 strategic bombers from the mainland to carry out precision strikes on 85 targets. In the Red Sea, the United States and its allies have carried out long-range strikes against more than 30 Houthi targets from the sea. The "American-style military action" seems to be vigorous, but in fact it has caused little thunder and rain, and has not caused much harm to the Islamic resistance group and Iran behind it, and the US military, which is led by Iran, has made the situation in the Middle East even more chaotic. As the conflict escalates, the United States is about to be drawn into a larger war in the Middle East.
The reason why the US military retaliated with such a large amount of money was to a large extent due to the pressure of internal public opinion. After the situation in the Middle East continues to deteriorate, the Biden administration is facing tremendous pressure to govern, especially after the presidential election begins, the Trump camp has constantly criticized the US government's Middle East strategy on the grounds that "the Biden administration is weak and incompetent". The attack on the Jordanian military base and the casualties of US soldiers have put Biden further on the cusp, in order to calm public opinion and stabilize the situation, the United States must show a strong attitude, and the call for war with Iran is getting louder and louder. However, the Biden administration has been more inclined to crack down on Iranian-backed proxy forces, and has not been willing to directly tear up Iran's face. After all, if the US-Iraq war breaks out in an all-round way, it can be said that it will lead to the whole body, which also means that the Middle East war will be completely detonated, and the United States, like Russia, will fall into the quagmire of war.
After careful consideration, the Biden administration has decided not to engage in a full-scale war with Iran or to launch a military strike on Iran itself, but the posture and momentum of revenge must still be displayed in a high-profile manner. Iranian military targets in Iraq and Syria, as well as Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, are naturally scapegoats. It can be said that the United States spared no financial resources for these two air strikes, in order to make a "political show" to the fullest. During the air strikes on Iraq and Syria, the United States dispatched B-1 bombers directly from Days Air Force Base in Texas, and even used C-17 "Globemaster III" transport planes and KC-135 air tankers to provide full support for long-range precision strikes.
After a miraculous operation, the US military announced a series of "results" for the first time. However, the Biden administration was responded to by an outcry from the Iraqi government. As a sovereign country, its territory and sovereignty have been violated, and there have been many civilian casualties, and the Iraqi Government naturally wants to discuss with the United States for explanation. Just before that, Iraq had already issued an "expulsion order" to the US military, and the US military's air raid action this time undoubtedly gave the Iraqi government more sufficient reasons to expel the US troops from the country. Compared with Iraq, Syria, which has been bullied by the US military for many years, obviously has no say, but the response is also more straightforward. After the end of the air strikes, a number of US military bases in the Middle East continued to be attacked. This also fully shows that the US airstrike was completely lonely, and not only did not hurt the Islamic resistance group, but further aroused anger.
Looking at the series of military operations of the US military in the Middle East in recent years, whether it is the war in Afghanistan or the war in Iraq, each time it has been a huge momentum and the results have been dismal. Compared with the United States during the Cold War, the United States still has the foundation of military strength, but its hegemony and influence are not as good as before. Therefore, Iran is not afraid of the United States, and the major Islamic resistance groups supported by Iran are not afraid of retaliation by the United States. This series of air strikes by the US military is precisely the situation that Iran wants to see.
At present, the Biden administration is facing a difficult situation. On the one hand, the Iranian-backed "Arc of Resistance" alliance has been further linked, and the intensity and intensity of attacks on the US military have been increasing. On the other hand, the U.S. military's undisciplined and aimless retaliatory strikes have further escalated the contradictions between the Biden administration and governments in the Middle East. In such a situation, the Republican Party in the United States continues to add fuel to the fire, making it difficult for the Biden administration. It can be said that the seemingly contradictory proposition that "the stronger the US military is, the weaker the US military" has plagued the United States for decades and remains unresolved. Unable to untie this dead knot, it will not be easy for the United States to get out of the Middle East.
