It is clear that the skies over the Persian Gulf were not as calm as usual that day. The feat of the USS Eisenhower's aircraft carrier battle group, which entered the Persian Gulf, was considered a provocative signal from the United States to Iran. Seeing it enter, people expected that a tough battle was about to begin. However, no one expected that Iran would make such a bold "face-riding" warning with a light drone.
The drone was not an ordinary flying machine, it decisively rushed towards the US aircraft carrier, and issued an astonishing order: prohibit *** from taking off into the air, land immediately!This move shocked people, after all, in the face of the great military power of the United States, it is really unexpected that Iran dares to confront it so directly.
The Eisenhower's trip was originally planned to go to the Mediterranean, but the outbreak of a Palestinian-Israeli conflict caused it to temporarily reverse course and sail to the Middle East. The change led to the belief that the arrival of the U.S. aircraft carrier was intended to put pressure on Iran in case it launched an attack on Israel. Iran's response, however, came as a surprise to all by warning the United States in a tough tone.
This may be the beginning of the deterioration of the situation that China fears. The Chinese side has repeatedly warned the United States not to further aggravate the situation and prevent the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In this game, the US military seems to be influenced by China's reminders. They seem to be aware that a head-on confrontation with Iran could have irreparable consequences. After all, Iran is not a small country without strength, they have ballistic missiles that are enough to make the United States obedient.
The US aircraft carrier battle group seems to have become extremely cautious in the face of Iran. The warning of a drone actually made the US military obediently obey the order and had no intention of resisting. In this case, the uselessness of the powerful military power of the United States is directly exposed to Iran's deterrence. This is an unexpected situation and one that makes people think deeply.
Iran's bold move and China's warnings may have contributed to some of America's cautious approach. The United States is clearly reluctant to become a bigger troublemaker in the Middle East. They seem to be weighing the pros and cons and are unwilling to take huge risks on the opposite side of the international arena.
In short, Iran's ballistic missiles and China's exhortations appear to have exerted influence on the United States, making it seem cautious in its actions in the Persian Gulf. This incident is a reminder that even a powerful military can be helpless in certain situations.
