The United States conducted two air strikes against the Houthi group in Yemen with the aim of opening the Red Sea passage in order to maintain its important strategic position in the Middle East. However, the move has caused a series of repercussions in the Middle East, with Iran and its allies striking the United States and Israel on four fronts, pushing relations between the two countries to a heightened tension. China is concerned about this incident and calls on the relevant parties to take restrictive measures to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
The United States launched an air strike against the Houthis without the approval of the United Nations Security Council, triggering an international outcry. The Houthis, Iran's key allies, have a strong military in the Middle East with numerous missiles and drones. In the face of US air strikes, the Houthis launched a fierce ** and launched several attacks on US naval units located in the Red Sea, making them ** devastating. The Houthis also threatened to launch a counterattack against Israel, an ally of the United States, if the United States did not end its air strikes.
In the Middle East, Iran is a powerful country, and it will not stand idly by while the United States attacks its allies. Iran has increased the configuration of rockets and drones in the border zone by sending 11 combat units to the situation in the Red Sea. Iran has adopted a "first-class model" strategy, that is, in the Middle East, by supporting and guiding its many allies, it will deal with the United States and Israel, rather than fighting head-on. In this way, Iran will not only avoid direct confrontation with the United States, but will also be able to exert extreme pressure on the United States and Israel.
Iran's allies include the Houthis (househ) in Yemen, the Shiite (Shia) forces in Iraq (Iraq), Lebanon (Lebanon) and Palestine (Hamas). All *** hit the United States and Israel from many sides, constituting an "arc of resistance". The U.S. strike on Yemen came when an Iraqi cruise missile launched by Shiite militants hit Israel's Haifa base, devaluing it. Shiite militants in Iraq have also used drones to attack two U.S. bases in Syria, claiming that the move is a form of support for the Palestinian people's resistance movement. Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Sudani also issued an ultimatum to the United States, telling them to withdraw from Iraq by 15 March, otherwise there would be a greater risk.
In northern Israel, Lebanon's Allah party continues to attack an Israeli base, which has forced it to withdraw some troops from Gaza to counter the threat from the north. In southern Israel, Palestinian Hamas seized the opportunity to retake large swathes of land north of Gaza and engaged in fierce fighting with Israeli forces south of Gaza. Lebanese Allah and Hamas are intensifying the intensity and depth of their attacks on Israel, posing a great threat to it. In an attack on the Lebanese capital, Beirut, after Hamas's second-in-command, Aluri***, both Allah and Hamas vowed to strike harder against Israel.
Iran and its allies have taken a series of military measures to deter the United States and Israel. Iran is well aware of the biggest flaw of the United States and Israel, which is that their economies are controlled by capitalist oligarchs, and they are concerned only with their own profits, not their own national lives. So Iran has adopted a war of attrition strategy, which uses cheap ** to attack the United States and Israel, causing them to suffer heavy losses both financially and politically. For example, when the United States fights against the Houthis, the US team costs $2 million per drone, while the Houthis only cost $2,000. For example, Israel is an isolated country whose shipping has been disrupted by Houthi rockets and drones, and Israel's economy has suffered.
Iran and its allies also have the upper hand in the world. Although the Houthis have long been criticized for attacking commercial ships in the Red Sea, the situation in Yemen has been reversed by the US military action, and more and more people have sided with the Houthis, saying that this is self-defense and that the United States is the invasion. China also expressed concern about the situation in the Red Sea and called on the parties concerned to exercise restraint to avoid further deterioration of the situation and make positive contributions to maintaining peace and security in the Red Sea. China's attitude is very clear, that is, it resolutely opposes the US air strike in Yemen and asks the relevant parties to exercise restraint so that the situation does not develop beyond control.
All in all, the U.S. crackdown on the Houthis has provoked a series of reactions in the Middle East, causing tensions between the two sides to become even more strained. Iran and its allies are attacking on all sides of the United States and Israel, forming an "arc of resistance" and exerting great pressure on the United States and Israel. China expressed concern over this incident and called on the parties concerned to take appropriate measures to prevent further deterioration of the situation and to make a positive contribution to the maintenance of peace and security in the Red Sea.
