Recently, the Middle East has once again become the focus of the world's attention. The United States has taken tough action against armed groups in the region, but the development of events has not been what the United States wanted.
According to reports, the United States launched more than 120 missiles in just one day, targeting a number of important military targets in the Middle East. This action did not have the desired effect. The Houthis, one of the targets, were barely affected and instead fought back against the United States. It is worth noting that the Houthis dispatched two unmanned surface ships loaded with explosives to launch suicide attacks on the US naval fleet. Despite the successful destruction of the two ships, the US military was still shocked. The Houthi attack is not costly, and the move is worrying to the United States. If the Houthis are not effectively destroyed in their military manufacturing capabilities and arsenals, the United States will face a greater threat.
Not only that, but the Houthis have also launched attacks on cargo ships of the United States and Western countries, causing shipping companies to suspend the passage of the Red Sea shipping lanes. This move will deal a further blow to the already sluggish economies of the United States and Western countries. More worryingly, the Houthis threaten to cut off key submarine cables in the Red Sea, which will pose a major threat to global financial markets and information security, and bring huge losses to the economies of various countries.
The United States is in a dilemma. If taken aggressively, it could anger the Houthis, leading to more serious consequences. But if the blow is not aggravated, the US naval fleet will be in danger for a long time. The Pentagon is reluctant to send ground troops to intervene because they fear that it could once again be drawn into a long-running Middle East war, accelerating America's decline.
Today, the United States is facing an important choice. The threat from the Houthis is growing day by day, and it is worth watching closely how the United States responds.
