Recently, several ships were attacked by Yemen's Houthi rebels in the Red Sea, leading four international shipping companies to announce the suspension of navigation in the region. In this context, the United States **quotes** Biden as saying that the Pentagon is considering strikes on military facilities of the Houthis in Yemen as a response to their actions. However, an American commentator raised doubts at this time, revealing that the US side did not dare to take action against the Houthis. He noted that although the United States remains the number one global power, Iran and pro-Iranian forces are currently not fully involved in the conflict between Israel and Hamas. As a result, many means of escalating the conflict have not yet been used. Commentators believe that the Houthis themselves have the ability to intensify attacks on the United States, and once Iran intervenes, the United States will face an even more dire situation.
In fact, the United States sent a large number of additional troops to the Middle East when the Israeli conflict broke out to prevent Iran from joining the conflict. Thus, commentators believe that if the United States acts against the Houthis, it is actually inviting Iran to intervene in the conflict. Therefore, the commentator believes that the situation is different from the past, clearly noting that the position and influence of the United States in the Middle East are not as good as before. In the current situation of the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, if a new conflict breaks out, the United States will face an even more severe situation. The U.S. attack on the Houthis is actually providing an excellent excuse for Iranian "people" to attack U.S. bases and embassies. For Iran, this is the most desirable outcome, because it would leave the United States helpless, if not personally.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly the most unwise choice for the United States to use military means to counterattack. Moreover, if the United States does not stop Israel's actions, the longer this war drags on, the more detrimental it will be to American interests. For now, the United States should seek to end the conflict and avoid further escalation, rather than exacerbating the conflict and expanding the scale of the dangerous situation. In addition, who can guarantee that the release of the United States to take action against the Houthis is not a game?This is not the first time that the United States has used such a means of threat. However, whether the move is good or bad, it comes down to the United States itself. However, it must be admitted that Iran's strategy is indeed ruthless enough that it can not only make the United States helpless without showing up. From another point of view, Iran is also avenging the "good buddies" China and Russia in disguise, because the United States has been shouting at China and Russia over the South China Sea and Ukraine issues.
Iran has taken tough measures directly to see how the United States responds. (Dorae).
