The situation in the Middle East has been the subject of much concern, and the recent rocket and drone attack on the US military base in Ain al-Assad in Iraq has raised concerns about the security of the US military in the Middle East. The Iraqi militia "Islamic Resistance Group" claimed responsibility for the attack, and the US embassy in Iraq was also subjected to multiple rounds of shelling. These attacks show that the situation of the US military in Iraq is becoming increasingly dangerous. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited the Middle East some time ago and made a special trip to a US military base in Iraq, a move that also shows that the United States attaches great importance and concern to the Middle East region. However, frequent attacks on U.S. military bases in Iraq, as well as support for Israel, have sparked anger against the United States among members of the Arc of Resistance. The "Arc of Resistance" refers to an anti-American armed structure led by the Iranian Revolutionary Army and composed of Allah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, the Syrian ** Army, and the Iraqi militia.
Their common goal is to expel U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East and take action against Israel. Although these countries and organizations have been under sanctions from the United States and the West, thanks to Iran's support, they are still able to obtain rockets, drones, mortars and other equipment. Especially as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues, the relationship between Russia and Iran has become closer and closer, which has also made the members of the "Arc of Resistance" in the Middle East stronger. The U.S. presence in Iraq has been questioned, and Iraqi armed groups want to expel U.S. troops from the Middle East. They believe that the U.S. military does not have the authority to set up military bases in Iraq, and that the U.S. embassy is seen as a forward base for U.S. military operations in the Middle East. Against this backdrop, attacks on the United States by Iraqi armed groups are escalating. At the same time, U.S. support for Israel has sparked more discontent in the Middle East. The United States not only sends ** to Israel, but also supports its military operations.
As a result, anger against the United States and Israel among members of the Arc of Resistance continues to rise. The turbulent situation in the Middle East has caused great distress to the United States, and the US military bases in various countries in the Middle East are at risk of attack. Although the United States has called on Iraq to send troops to stop attacks against American targets, the situation in the Middle East is becoming increasingly complicated. It is foreseeable that the situation of the US military in the Middle East will continue to face more challenges, and if the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is not resolved peacefully, the attacks on the US military by members of the "Arc of Resistance" will continue. Therefore, the problems facing the United States in the Middle East are far from being resolved, and how to deal with the changes in the situation in the Middle East has become an urgent problem to be solved. Whether the United States should re-examine its policy in the Middle East and how to quell the discontent of the members of the Arc of Resistance with its military presence are serious challenges facing the United States.
Only by finding the right solution can the United States gain a stronger position in the Middle East.
