The more the United States intervenes in the Middle East, the more it pushes itself into the abyss. As far as the current situation is concerned, there is no complete ceasefire in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and even if there is a ceasefire, according to Israel's thinking, it is a ceasefire and no fighting. After all, Israel has coveted the Gaza territory for a long time. In addition, Israel tried to escalate the situation by carrying out a raid on the Iranian embassy in Syria, which resulted in casualties. In this way, there is a good chance that the United States will be forced to get involved in this conflict. Of course, this is not the worst, the challenges facing the United States in the direction of the Red Sea are not small, and the Houthis are ready to "use the small to make the big" and fight the United States to the end.
In the words of the Houthis, it is a great honor to be able to confront the United States directly. The United States' original idea was to use military deterrence to make the Houthis retreat, so it sent two aircraft carriers in the waters near the Red Sea. Later, it was discovered that the strike capability of the Houthis was not weak, and in terms of cost, the United States had no choice but to let the aircraft carrier return to its home port to "rest." Since then, we have seen the formation of a Red Sea convoy by the United States and the formation of a "bombing alliance" by Britain and the United States.
The United States has always been reluctant to talk nonsense about things that can be solved with its fists, but this time it can really be regarded as an iron kick. According to Houthi leader of Yemen's Houthis, since January this year, the US and British forces have launched 424 land, sea and air strikes against the Houthis, killing 37 people and wounding 30.
However, despite this, the United States and Britain have not achieved their goal, and the Houthis have not stopped in the direction of the Red Sea, and since the outbreak of the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Houthis have carried out military operations against 90 ships linked to the United States, Britain and Israel. In the past month, the Houthis have conducted 34 military operations. The attitude of the Houthis is very direct: Yemen is not afraid of a direct war with the Anglo-American coalition!
Speaking of which, some people may be curious: After 30 years of US air strikes against the Houthis, can the United States still suppress the Middle East as it did in the past? Judging from the actions of the United States today, it seems that it has no intention of launching a ground war. First, the U.S. military is undernumbered, with only about 10,000 troops able to assemble immediately, and the rest of the troops are scattered around the world. Second, ground warfare is an advantage for the Houthis, and the U.S. military may not be able to end the fighting in a short time. Third, Yemen has a long-standing grudge against the United States, and there is no need to make much effort to mobilize it.
No, the Houthi said, Yemen recently carried out an initial war mobilization, the number of troops increased by 200,000, plus the existing 300,000, Yemen has expanded its army to 500,000, and if there is a ground war, the number of Yemeni troops will continue to increase. In addition to the Houthis, the United States has one trouble left that will be difficult to solve: Iran.
In response to the casualties caused by the attack on the embassy, the Iranian side has made a strong statement that it does not intend to let Israel go and will retaliate against Israel. The statement of the American side is interesting, the US side warned Iran not to attack US military facilities under the pretext of the bombing of the embassy, and Netanyahu warned Iran not to act rashly or go to hell.
To be honest, the current situation is relatively favorable for Iran. To put it simply, Iran has no other dangers other than preventing terrorist attacks, and its economy is developing normally. The best retaliation is to increase support for the "civilian armed forces" around Israel and to increase the fire along Israel's borders. As far as Israel is concerned, if Iran is not brought down, there will be no peace in Israel's neighborhood, and it is a bit difficult for Israel to completely take Iran down.
For this, Israel can only count on the United States, but as I mentioned earlier, the United States will not easily return to the Middle East. In this way, the longer these things drag on, the more bad Israel's reputation will become, so bad that the United States is afraid of getting into trouble, and the legitimacy of the Israeli regime will become less and less. For now, there is only one option left for the United States and Israel: compromise. This is one of the reasons why the United States has been issuing constant warnings about Israel recently.
It is worth mentioning that don't look at Israel's mouth is very hard, but the body is very sincere. Following Iran's warning, Israel suspended the leave of all its soldiers and all soldiers returned to standby. Not only that, but Israel has evacuated the staff of 28 embassies abroad, and some places have even been emptied. In addition, Israel has also increased GPS signal interference in some areas to prevent Iranian surprise attacks.
The situation in the Middle East has changed abruptly, and the "evil fruits" sown by the United States have fermented, and the United States never imagined that the way it used to fight terrorism and consolidate hegemony in the Middle East would now become a stumbling block to pulling itself into the water......
