Previously, the Iranian side announced a **, showing that its drone flew over the US aircraft carrier strike group, ordering the US carrier-based *** to stay on the deck, and the US military complied. A few days later, the U.S. Command announced on social media that the U.S. "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier strike group intercepted an Iranian drone in the Persian Gulf. The United States also did not say whether it shot down the Iranian drone, and according to the virtues of the United States, it did not say that it was definitely not shot down. The fact that the drone can enter the core of the US aircraft carrier strike group is enough to show that there are big loopholes in the so-called airtight defense circle of the US aircraft carrier strike group, and the US fighter can obviously shoot down the drone, but the United States did not do it, which shows that the United States is not unable to shoot it down, but does not dare to shoot it down. After all, this is at Iran's doorstep, and combined with the current situation in the Middle East, the United States will inevitably spill over the conflict, and the essence of the American paper tiger will be broken as soon as it is poked.
Not only Iran, but now even armed groups can "tease" the United States. In recent days, there have been reports that a number of merchant ships have been attacked by drones and missiles in the waters of the Red Sea. Yemen's Houthi rebels confirmed the news, claiming that two Israeli ships were attacked using drones and missiles after they refused warnings. The first was the Unity Explorer, which was owned by the United Kingdom, and one of the company's executives, Israeli-based Ongar, who was confirmed to be the son of Israeli billionaire Abraham Rami Ongar. The second ship, the No. 9, is related to the German company Betser Ship Management. These two ships seem to have nothing to do with Israel as a state, but they are inextricably linked to Jewish capital, and they are also related to Britain, Germany and other countries that support Israel, and it seems that the scope of Yemen's Houthi strikes is quite extensive. Yemen's Houthis have previously announced that all Israeli-operated or Israeli-related cargo ships will be targeted. Due to the wide range of the attack, the Israeli shipping industry has been hit hard, and some have been forced to announce a diversion to the Cape of Good Hope, which has doubled the cost, and has also had a great impact on Israel**.
This can be regarded as a boomerang, in the past, the United States, Israel and other countries formed "escort formations" in the Persian Gulf to arbitrarily seize Iranian oil tankers, and now Iran has returned. This time, in addition to the attack on the Israeli-related cargo ship, the US ** ship was also attacked, "out of self-defense, the US ship **", and shot down 3 drones. What is surprising is that the United States can look at China and throw the blame on China, accusing the PLA of failing to provide support in the Gulf of Aden and failing to provide timely assistance to Israeli ships. The situation in the Middle East outside of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is also on the verge of breaking out, US bases have been hit many times, and the two aircraft carrier strike groups have been unable to hold down their positions here. The United States should not have expected that after the strategic contraction in the Middle East, it was not China and Russia that would fight with the United States first, but would fall into the quagmire of war in the Middle East, and even if the United States did not want to end up, I am afraid that it would not be able to tolerate them.
