The Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the world's leading choke point, has now become an ingenious chess game for Yemen's Houthi rebels. This unusual war is no longer the playbook of a traditional naval confrontation, but a silent blockade constructed by shore-based anti-ship missiles, shore-based ballistic missiles and drones.
The momentum of the alliance, 96 giant ships in the Red Sea
The alliance formed by the United States and other countries is like a delicate ballet, with 96 giant ships dancing in the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Gulf of Oman, and the Arabian Sea. The Aegis Mason, Aegis Kani, and Akebono frigates form a formidable barrier in the Red Sea against Yemen's Houthi rebels.
Yemen's Houthi rebels, the ingenious sense of non-propagation
In this war, Yemen's Houthi rebels have opted for an unconventional method of warfare. Unlike previous naval and air confrontations, they abandoned submarines and abandoned the traditional goal of sinking more freighters. Instead, they rely heavily on shore-based missiles and drones to strike the Western and Arab worlds economically and challenge the definition of contention.
The blockade of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the silent wail of the world's **
The blockade of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is not only a geographical blockade, but also a silent wail of global ** and transport. The four major container shipping companies have suspended services in the Red Sea, and the transportation hub has been severely affected. Analysts at the Norwegian analytical agency Xeneta expect ocean freight rates** to be as high as 100%. This silent blockade has made the world aware of the importance of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and it has also allowed Yemen's Houthis to win an economic victory invisibly.
The ultimate goal of the Houthis, the dispute over Jerusalem
However, behind this war lies a deeper strategy. The ultimate goal of Yemen's Houthis is not limited to the blockade of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, but to interfere with Israel's military operations in pursuit of seizing Jerusalem. This seemingly partial war is actually part of a war between the Iranian-centered Resistance Front and the United States and Israel. In this complex situation, Yemen has become a remarkable pawn, and their every move is like stirring up a controversy on the chessboard of international politics.
The uncertain outcome and how the Houthis in Yemen broke the stalemate
How to break this seemingly stalemate?Yemen's Houthi rebels in the face of a powerful coalition from countries such as the United States require sophisticated tactics and unconventional means. Their anti-ship missiles, especially the Persian Gulf-2 anti-ship ballistic missile, imported from Iran, have shown alarming power. However, in the face of a massive coalition of 96 ships**, will Yemen's Houthis be able to hold the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, or will they eventually be defeated by the pressure of the alliance?All of this is still uncertain and the focus of global attention.
The Battle for the Bab el-Mandeb Strait: A New Era of War
The Bab el-Mandeb Strait seems to have become a huge picture of international politics, outlining a new era of war. This narrow body of water, which has been cleverly transformed by Yemen's Houthi rebels, has been transformed into a battlefield for an unconventional maritime war, challenging the international community's conventional perception of war. The future of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait contains more unknowns and unsolved mysteries.
The resourcefulness of the Houthis, the blockade of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait
The battle for the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is not a simple military confrontation, but also a contest of wit. Yemen's Houthi armed forces have not only blocked the waterways of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, but also provoked waves in the world. This unconventional approach to warfare has led to a re-examination of the definition of warfare and a reminder to the international community of the powerlessness of traditional military forces in the face of new threats.
With the rumors that Finland will become the second Ukraine, Putin has expressed dissatisfaction and concern about Finland's accession to NATO. As a neighboring country, Russia is deeply concerned about Finland's move to sign a defense agreement with NATO and to admit U.S. troops to military bases. This incident has caused tensions between Russia and Finland to an unprecedented level. In this day and age, geographical location is still the focus of competition and the core of the game of interests.
After the Ukraine issue was resolved, Russia turned its attention to Finland, a strategically important Nordic country closer to its own borders. In the face of threats from the West and its expansion of influence beyond Eastern Europe and the Baltic Sea, Russia will undoubtedly feel a growing trend of potential hostility along its borders.
Finland's accession to NATO will escalate NATO's military pressure on Russia's borders, adding fuel to the fire in relations between Russia and the West, which are already under tension. The creation of a new military district in response to Finland's accession to NATO also shows the great importance and strategic consideration that Russia attaches to this issue. After all, Russia, which plays a pivotal role on the international stage, will not passively sit idly by in the face of threats to its security interests.
