Just after the U.S. military killed 10 Houthi fighters on December 31, 2023, Iran's Alberts entered the Red Sea through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait on January 1, 2024.
Iran did not say the specific reason for sending ** into the Red Sea, only lightly saying that we have always been patrolling there, which is normal, and this time is no exception, we are there to protect the safety of shipping lanes and fight piracy.
It can be said that Iran's answer is very American, and it is said that those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, and Iran has dealt with the United States for many years, and the Americans have learned that way unconsciously.
In the same way, the security of the United States and Iran are completely different, they both regard each other as unsafe, and as for pirates, they both regard each other as ten times more dangerous than pirates.
Iran's entry into the Red Sea is not only for support for the Houthis, but also for Allah in Lebanon. Israel has just announced the withdrawal of part of its Gaza army to the border with Lebanon to open a second battlefield.
Iran is the big brother of the Middle East, and it has deep pockets and ties to a large number of armed forces, which Iran generally did not recognize in the past, but now it is vague. It can be said that without Iran's support,** and monetary support, armed forces such as Hamas, Allah, the Houthis, etc., could not have grown and developed.
Iran's entry into the Red Sea, and the possibility of more Iran's entry into the Red Sea in the future, not only challenges the United States, but also knocks Israel, which is a dog in Iran's eyes.
Since the outbreak of the Israeli-Kazakh conflict, Israel, with the support of the United States, has been very arrogant, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has jumped up and down and carried away. Israel's strategic objective has evolved from the initial elimination of Hamas to the elimination of almost all armed forces opposed to Israel.
If Iran, as the big brother in the Middle East, is still just hiding behind the scenes and pointing fingers, Israel will act even more recklessly.
Iran's entry into the Red Sea has increased the trouble for the United States and threatened Israel's flank. If Israel persists, Israel itself may not only be subjected to terrorist attacks, but may also face the danger of military strikes.
