Recently, the situation in the Middle East has deteriorated again. Three U.S. soldiers were killed and about 30 others were injured in an attack on a U.S. military base, many of whom were in critical condition and needed immediate evacuation. This attack was a heavy blow to the US military, because they have been facing various forms of attacks for a long time, but none of them have created **personnel**. Only one contractor had recently died, but it was said that he was scared to death and was not killed outright. The attackers did not seem to have anticipated in advance the consequences of such a serious attack. The occurrence of this incident has caused the US military in the Middle East to face a new choice, and it has also affected the trend of the entire Middle East.
According to the Russian Sputnik news agency, after the attack, both Biden and the Pentagon issued statements in which they targeted the armed forces implicated in Iran and said they would retaliate if necessary. At the same time, there is information that transport planes in the United States are beginning to move, which is reminiscent of the mobilization scene of the US invasion of Iraq. At the moment, the United States has not taken further action in the Middle East and has not made it clear that it wants to retaliate directly against Iran, so a full-scale war is not expected. However, this possibility cannot be ruled out, as there are disagreements within the United States about how to deal with this issue, and what choice Biden will make is still unknown.
Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina said in a statement that Biden could destroy all Iranians, but it would not be enough to stop Iran's "acts of aggression." He called on the US authorities to strike at important targets inside Iran, not only to avenge the dead soldiers, but also to deter future "acts of aggression". Graham is a typical hawk with close ties to Israel, so it's no surprise that he has a high voice for an attack on Iran. But now the crux of the matter is not who is clamoring, the emergence of disagreements is inevitable, the key is Biden's ideas. At the moment, Biden seems somewhat reluctant to remain involved in the Middle East. If it stays, the risk of the United States getting involved in the war will be very high. If there is another large-scale US military **, it is up to Biden whether to strike Iran or not.
Prior to the US military incident, the US side had promised Iraq to establish a timetable for the withdrawal of troops. In addition, the United States has pressured Israel to slow its military operations in the Gaza Strip. At the same time, the United States unfroze $6 billion in Iranian funds without imposing clear restrictions on their use. From this series of actions, it can be seen that the United States is considering fleeing the Middle East. They have realized that no more progress can be made in the Middle East, that a Houthi group has exhausted the patience of the United States, and that the US military is unable to take strong action or stop the Houthi offensive. Once it is out of the Middle East, the United States will be able to devote more energy to its strategy of suppressing China. Therefore, the internal disagreement within the United States is not whether to strike Iran, but the question of whether to hit Iran first or directly concentrate on containing China.
The United States is now faced with a difficult choice: whether to confront Iran and fight for control of the Middle East, or flee the Middle East and devote more energy to suppressing China. This choice not only has a bearing on the trend of the situation in the Middle East, but also has a direct impact on Sino-US relations and world stability. The United States ** Biden must carefully weigh various factors and make wise decisions based on the domestic and foreign situation.
For now, Biden seems to be more inclined to take a strategic retreat approach. By fleeing the Middle East, he hopes to free the U.S. military from its long-standing quagmire and divert attention from China. However, there are risks that such abandonment of the Middle East could send the wrong signal to Iran and lead to further instability in the Middle East. In addition, the abandonment of the Middle East region needs to be handled cautiously so as not to have a destabilizing impact on other regions.
Whatever strategy the U.S. ultimately chooses, it will need to carefully assess and weigh the various factors, especially given the possible ripple effects of Iran. At the same time, the United States should maintain close cooperation with the international community and seek appropriate ways to resolve the Middle East issue in order to maintain regional and world peace and stability.
From an individual point of view, we should not be too extreme in dealing with any problem, but should have an overall strategic thinking and long-term vision. On the Middle East issue, the United States should uphold a stable and conciliatory stance, promote dialogue and compromise among all parties, and jointly find a solution. At the same time, the United States should also focus on the development of domestic issues and enhance the country's soft power and overall strength while handling Middle East affairs. Only in this way can the United States better play a leading role in the international arena and realize its own interests and long-term goals.
