According to the latest reports, Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a number of missiles in the Red Sea again, attacking the US destroyer "Messoon" in the waters of the Red Sea, and "successfully hit the target".
This time, the Houthis announced in a high-profile manner that they had indeed "hit", and it is not difficult to see that it is a very confident statement, and the United States has not responded yet, but it is undeniable that the Houthis are becoming more and more confident, and the United States is becoming more and more unable to hang on to its face.
After all, on one side is the hegemon of the world's oceans, and on the other hand, there is the "slipper army", especially the allies of the United States, who only want to see how the United States takes care of the Houthis, not to see whether the United States and the Houthis have a good fight.
There is a reason why the Houthis are so high-profile this time, not long ago, the Houthis also took down a spy group that assisted the United States and Israel, and arrested a number of suspects, these spies were recruited through officers and members of an intelligence organization called "Unit 400", mainly to gather intelligence and monitor the Houthi armed forces in the west coast of Yemen, serve the United States and Israel, monitor the launch sites used by the Houthis to combat missiles and drones, etc.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that since November last year, the Houthis have launched more than 50 attacks on passing ships in the Red Sea, during which many Israeli-related ships have been painted, and a British oil tanker has been directly sunk. This incident, at least in three ways, dealt a big blow to the United States.
First of all, the "Red Sea Escort Alliance" initiated by the United States has not been responded to by a few countries, and now the United States has behaved so aggressively from actual combat to espionage, which will only scare more allies away. Second, the Houthis have played a momentum, and claimed that their activities in the Red Sea are to support Hamas and the people of Gaza, and now they are doing what they say, on the other hand, the United States, which keeps saying that it will maintain peace, but most of the time it is shielding Israel, making the bloodshed and humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip more and more serious, and morally, the United States also has the upper hand. Finally, countries like Turkey and Colombia have recently become more and more unkind to Israel, either severing diplomatic relations in foreign affairs or economic and trade relations, which is similar to what the Houthis have done.
Therefore, more and more countries oppose the United States and Israel, and judging from these circumstances, the Houthis do have the capital to be confident.
