In response to the Houthi attacks, the United States and Britain launched a number of airstrikes, but failed to weaken the Houthis' firepower. United StatesAfter the cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden was attacked by missiles, it had to call for help around and faced a difficult situation. The Houthis have used missiles and drones to attack ships, and have also adopted new tactics of unmanned underwater boats, making it difficult for the United States and Britain to have an effective response strategy. The U.S. launched another airstrike on the Houthi stronghold, but the Houthis succeeded in shooting down the U.S. drone and showing their powerful counterattack capabilities. The continued attacks by the United States and Britain have not brought the desired results, making the situation chaotic and intractable.
In the current situation, it seems that the only way for the United States to take down the Houthis is to take the form of a large-scale attack on YemenFor the United States, the gains outweigh the losses. The strategic focus of the United States is mainly in the Asia-Pacific region, and its military investment in the Middle East is relatively small. Faced with stubborn resistance from the Houthis, the United States is caught in a dilemma.

The dilemma for the United States is that it is likely to take a military action on the scale of the Houthis in order to actually defeat them, but this could lead to regional conflicts at a cost to the United States. The whole incident has made people re-examine the actual influence and response capabilities of the United States in the Middle East, and formed a strategic reflection.

The stubborn resistance of the Houthis has put the United States in a difficult positionIt is clear that the tactics of symbolic retaliation will not change the current situation. The ripple effects of the attack on the American and British ships have complicated the situation. The United States had to choose carefully in its military operations in the Middle East in order to balance its main strategic focus in the Asia-Pacific region. The challenges facing the United States in the Middle East dispute are far more complex than imagined, and the strategic thinking and response methods are far more complex.
