It is getting harder and harder for the United States in the Middle East!
After being driven out of the Red Sea by the Houthis, the US aircraft carrier and the embarrassing evacuation of the Middle East, the United States suffered another blow in Iraq!
Since the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli war, Iraq's anti-US armed forces have collectively launched attacks on US military bases in Iraq, causing heavy losses to the United States.
On January 4, an enraged United States suddenly launched an air raid to behead the leader of an Iraqi armed group and killed four anti-American fighters.
However, in the face of the sudden US raids, the anti-US forces in Iraq not only did not retreat, but instead fought-for-tat and launched counterattacks against US military bases on many occasions.
What makes the United States and Israel even more alarmed is that while striking US military bases in Iraq, Iraqi armed groups suddenly broke the big news, announcing that they had launched long-range cruise missiles at Israel in retaliation for Israel's actions against innocent people in Gaza.
That's right, another country is openly at war!
Iraqi militias issued a statement in the early hours of January 7 confirming that they had attacked an important target in the Israeli city of Haifa over the past few days, using the Alqab advanced long-range cruise missile.
What frightened Israel was that the missile launched by Iraq was not intercepted, but it did not achieve its goal, and fell in the sea near the port of Haifa, and the evil consequences of the Lebanese Allah armed forces to destroy the Israeli Meron military base are emerging.
Although they did not hit the target, some airlines and shipping companies are likely to suspend the port of Haifa due to security concerns, making it even more uncomfortable for Israel, which was already being stopped by the Houthis because of the economic lifeline of the Red Sea. The resulting losses far exceed the losses that the missile could hit the target.
In the past, the Iraqi militia gave people the impression that rockets were the main one, but they never imagined that now not only drones are used, but even long-range cruise missiles are used. And to strike when it's time to strike, to launch a direct attack on Israel.
As a result, Israel faces simultaneous strikes in the Middle East by Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, Allah in Lebanon, and Iraqi militias. In particular, the war between Israel and the Lebanese Allah forces has escalated abruptly and has begun to turn to full-scale war.
Now the sudden entry of Iraqi militia forces into the war has also made the already difficult situation even worse for Israel.
At the same time, Iraq also strongly condemned the air raids launched by the United States in Iraq, and once again demanded that the US troops immediately withdraw from the Iraqi garrison.
Without the consent of Syria, the US military has maintained a long-term military presence in Syria and smuggled a large amount of oil and grain from Syria, which has aroused the anger of the whole Syrian country. The dignified world powers have been reduced to the point of stealing oil, and the United States today has completely disregarded its face.
And now, the US military in Iraq has also been openly expelled by Iraq, not only the anti-US forces in Iraq have taken action one after another, launching attacks on US military bases every now and then, and even the US embassies and consulates in Iraq have been continuously threatened with artillery fire, and the US life in Iraq has become more and more difficult.
As a result, the US military bases in Iraq and Syria have almost become a situation where rats cross the street and everyone shouts and beats them.
Since 2023, the United States has had to begin to significantly reduce its military and non-military forces in Iraq to avoid the continuation of ** in Iraq, with the launch of the US military in Iraq this time, retaliatory air strikes killed Iraqi commanders, so that Iraqi anti-American armed forces acted collectively, launched retaliatory actions against the US military, and at the same time directly fired artillery on Israel, which also made the situation of the United States in the Middle East more difficult.
At the critical moment when the Middle East was in an emergency, US Secretary of Defense Austin was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment due to a sudden illness, but before the war, the secretary of defense advanced to the hospital for rescue, which is not a good sign for the United States.
In addition, since yesterday, Russia has launched an unprecedented nationwide strike against Ukraine, and now Ukraine is already in turmoil, and the United States, which is deeply involved in the two wars of Palestine and Israel, Russia and Ukraine, is also becoming more and more powerless in the Middle East.
