Israel is raging in Gaza like a hungry wolf breaking into a flock, and the people of Gaza are being subjected to inhumane treatment. At a time when countries around the world are accusing Israel of inhumane acts, the Houthis have stepped forward like a man in the woods and openly begun to attack Israel.
The Houthis are not rich, but they are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and dare to roar when they see injustice, and with the support of Iran, the Houthis are very strong-willed.
They are close to the Red Sea shipping lanes, control the crucial Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and can cut off access to the Red Sea at will if they wish. After all, there are many merchant ships coming and going in the Red Sea, and no one can withstand the armed attacks of the Houthis.
The Houthis' operation is mainly aimed at Israeli merchant ships. Due to Israel's geographical reasons, they are extremely dependent on Red Sea shipping, and the Houthis have taken a fancy to this, as long as they look at merchant ships related to Israel, they will attack them.
Through drones and missiles, merchant ships on the Red Sea were beaten unspeakably. The Houthi-controlled Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which is recognized as a choke point at sea, has been clear to the United States many years ago. How can they swallow this breath, swallow this breath, and put the face of the Americans on the **?
However, far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, although the Americans are strong, but after all, with millions of dollars of anti-aircraft missiles to fight the Houthi cheap drones, there will be a sense of déjà vu of a cannon to hit mosquitoes.
Therefore, recently, the US Eisenhower aircraft carrier group began to approach the Red Sea region, and it looked like it was gearing up. The United States has always been like this, they like to entangle a group of allies in foreign wars, and one-on-one combat is a way that Americans do not like.
So, in addition to the Americans going to the Red Sea, the Germans and the French also went to the Red Sea. If we simply stay in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, we will not be able to solve the Red Sea crisis, nor will we be able to solve the impact of the Houthis, nor will we be able to relieve the siege of Israel from the side.
In this case, if the United States wants to defend Israel and help him, it must strike at the Houthis. However, as mentioned above, far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, and if the United States wants to end the game, it is bound to use Saudi Arabia to gather troops and prepare materials.
Saudi Arabia is an Arab country, Israel is a Jewish country, once Saudi Arabia is not firm in its position, then how should it face Arab countries, and how to deal with Iran, which has just eased relations?
Therefore, in this situation, Saudi Arabia felt helpless, and Iran did not want to conflict with Saudi Arabia again, and at this critical and sensitive period, Saudi Arabia and Iran visited China and held a meeting at the deputy ministerial level.
China's position has always been clear, which can be summed up in three points: adhere to reconciliation, promote the improvement of relations, and eliminate external influences.
It's simple, but it's also quite intuitive. In the face of US hegemony, Saudi Arabia, as an Arab country, once it is pulled into the camp of Israel by the old United States, it means that he has no possibility of turning back, and once Israel fails in the end, Saudi Arabia's end will be quite bad.
Therefore, Saudi Arabia is reluctant to team up with the United States, so it visits China to seek a sense of security. After this trip, presumably Saudi Arabia also has its own inner answer, firmly opposing hegemony, the future will be brighter, blindly accommodating, when is the end?It's just going to get deeper and deeper.
