The situation in the Red Sea theater of operations is not optimisticIDFwith HamasArmedInGaza StripFierce firefighting, and in Yemen, more than two thousand kilometers from Israel, the HouthisArmedThe blockade of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait began. This dealt a serious blow to Israel's economy, which relied on the Red Sea route for large quantities of supplies. HouthisArmedEven seized Israeli merchant ships and hit cargo ships bound for Israel. HouthisArmedThis act causedInternationalThe shock of society led to the global Big FiveShippingFour companies suspended the Red SeaShipping
The United States is an important ally of Israel and cannot sit idly by and watch Israel's economic lifeline be cut off. The problem for the United States, however, is that the HouthisArmedThe ability to control the Red Sea theater of operations exceeded expectations. Despite the HouthisArmedThe ** equipment was very rudimentary, but they successfully implemented the blockade of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. This embarrassed the United States, since they could not carry out the escort mission on their own and needed to seek help from their allies. The United States called on 10 countries, including Britain and France, to participate in the "Guardian of Prosperity" operation, but in fact, only Britain and France sent one each, and the other countries only sent a small number of staff officers.
This embarrasses the United States not only for the non-active participation of its allies, but also for the United StatesNavyown problems. United StatesNavyNot only does it need to contain the big countries in the East in the Asia-Pacific region, but it is also under pressure to maintain a large number of **. ShipbuildingThe capacity has declined, a large number of ** cannot be repaired in time, and the existing ** is already crowded. In addition, the United StatesNavyThe results of the escort were also not encouraging, despite the interception of the HouthisArmedmissiles andDrones, but Israeli merchant ships were still hit from time to time. Intercept the HouthisArmedMissiles used andDronesThe cost is very high, much higher than how much they cost. This has deepened the dilemma faced by the United States in the deployment of ships and escort missions in the Red Sea.
HouthisArmedControlling the situation in the Red Sea theater of operations is indeed a dilemma for the United States. On the one hand, the HouthisArmedThe blockade of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait has a serious impact on Israel's economy and also poses a threat to the interests of the United States. The United States cannot sit idly by while Israel's economy suffers, nor can it allow the HouthisArmedExpand your influence in the Red Sea region.
On the other hand, the United States in the Red Sea regionNavyThe forces are relatively weak and cannot stand alone against the HouthisArmed。In the current global situation, the United StatesNavyIt is necessary to simultaneously counter threats in the Asia-Pacific region, protect domestic sea lanes, and carry out escort missions in the Red Sea region. The enormity of this task makes the United StatesNavyOverwhelmed and unable to deal effectively with the HouthisArmedof provocations.
To solve this dilemma, the United States needs to seek the help of its allies. However, only the United Kingdom and France are currently involved in Operation Prosperity Champions, and the participation of other countries is not high. This means that the United States cannot rely solely on the support of its allies, but needs to resort to other means to protect Israel's economic interests and its own security interests.
In the short term, the United States could consider providing more to IsraelMilitaryassistance, including missile defense systems and intelligence support, among others. This will help Israel to suffer from the HouthisArmedAbility to defend oneself better in the event of an attack. In addition, the United States can step up the Houthi stepArmedto weaken its strength through air strikes and other means, forcing it to abandon the blockade of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
In the long term, the United States needs to strengthen itself in the Red Sea regionMilitaryPresence and influence. This needs to be improvedNavyforces, increase the quantity and quality of ships, and strengthen cooperation with allies. In addition, the United States can push the Houthis through diplomatic means, including pressure and negotiationsArmedAbandonment of the blockade of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
In short, HouthisArmedThe control of the Red Sea theater of operations has caused great trouble for the United States, putting it in a dilemma. Solving this problem requires the United States to adopt a variety of means, including strengthening cooperation with Israel and improving itMilitarypower and influence, as well as diplomacy to find solutions. Only in this way will the United States be able to safeguard its own interests in the Red Sea theater and protect Israel's security and economic interests.
