A storm has been set off in the southern part of the Red Sea, and the USS Carney, a Burke-class destroyer, has played the leading role in a life-and-death contest. It was around this corner that the appearance of an Iranian drone ignited a spark of tension. The U.S. side showed a tough side and shot down an Iranian drone codenamed "KAS-04" in an attempt to send a strong warning to its adversary.
Not so long ago, in the Persian Gulf, the American aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower almost became the target of Iranian drones and speedboats. What is shocking is that the drone is only 1372 meters away from the aircraft carrier, which makes people shudder. At this time, the tense standoff and the unresolved situation prompted the United States to choose restraint for the time being.
However, the crisis over the Red Sea has not eased, but has continued the previous turmoil in which the USS Carney launched an SM-2 anti-aircraft missile in the Red Sea, intercepting a large number of Houthi drones and missiles. The U.S. military's move is aimed at preventing the Houthis from carrying out long-range ** attacks on Israel, and to this end, they have acted firmly.
This is not just a confrontation with Iran, but a riposte to the Houthis. Earlier, the Houthis claimed to have shot down the American MQ-9 Reaper drone, although US officials insisted that the drone was shot down in "international airspace". Behind this battle of revenge, there are unknown entanglements.
Iran and the Houthis have repeatedly spoken out about Israeli ships, and there may be a deeper motive behind this incident. It is likely that the USS Carney is on a mission to transport U.S. military equipment to Israel, which may be why the Houthis chose to attack.
Tensions in the region have been rekindled. The Houthi attack in the waters off Yemen, in which the USS Mason destroyer recaptured an oil tanker controlled by armed men, illustrates the grim reality of regional strife. Although the Houthis claim to only attack Israel, they can hardly hide their hostility to the US ship.
This series of clashes and confrontations has pushed the tension in the region to a climax. The hostile relationship between the United States and Iran and the Houthis, accompanied by missiles and drones flying over the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, is a fierce military confrontation that casts a shadow of uncertainty over the region's future.
Escalating tensions in the region and increasingly acute hostile relations between the United States and Iran and the Houthis have highlighted the fierce geopolitical game and raised concerns about the future.
