The United States faces serious challenges in the Middle East. Iranian-led "Arc of Resistance" is attacking the United States and its allies, Israel is being caught between Hamas and Allah in Lebanon, and other armed groups are joining the war. Although Israel has great scientific and technological strength, its resources and population are limited, and it is difficult to withstand a protracted war of attrition.
The United States is also facing missile attacks from Yemen's Houthi forces in the Red Sea region, which has caused great distress to the United States in the international community. Air strikes alone will not completely eliminate the Houthis, and if the US military launches a landing operation, it could fall into the trap of the Houthis and find themselves in a second Afghan battlefield. U.S. military bases in Iraq, Syria and Jordan, among others, are regularly attacked by suicide drones and rockets.
The latest attack, which killed three U.S. troops and wounded 38, was the largest attack on U.S. forces since the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Iran has also recently targeted Israeli and U.S. targets directly, with missile attacks on Israeli intelligence centers in Iraq and U.S. consulates in Iraq, causing panic in both the U.S. and Israel. The United States is well aware of the frequent attacks it faces in the Middle East, and Iran is the main messenger behind it.
In the past, the United States liked to put pressure on other countries through the war of the people, but now Iran is retaliating against the United States in the same way. When the United States is no longer at peace in the Middle East, it is being besieged every day. Iran is determined to drive the United States out of the Middle East. Now the United States is faced with two difficult choices, one is to withdraw from the Middle East, and the other is to personally strike Iran to eliminate the consequences.
However, both paths are difficult for the United States, which is no longer as powerful as it once was. In conclusion, the United States faces enormous challenges in the Middle East and needs to face difficult choices.
