Recently, the United States and Iraq set up a withdrawal committee and began to formulate a timetable for withdrawal. This is an important signal of the strategic retreat of the United States in the Middle East. It has to be said that the United States is acting more and more passively in the Middle East and is facing many challenges and crises. Iraq's *** has called for the establishment of a withdrawal commission, while the United States has previously avoided such a move. But now, the attitude of the United States has changed 180 degrees. This is also because Iraq is the rear of the US military in the Middle East, and if the US troops are withdrawn from Iraq, the US military will face greater risks in Syria. This shift will inevitably trigger more ripple effects.
However, we need to figure out why the United States suddenly agreed to withdraw its troops from Iraq. The reason given by the United States on the face of it is the security of the US troops in Iraq. But in fact, the problem existed long after the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip. If it were only for security reasons, the United States would have withdrawn its troops long ago, instead of making some remarks about not leaving. The real reason is that the US strategy in the Middle East has failed, and the countries of the Middle East have begun to oppose US intervention. Continuing to remain with the United States could have more serious consequences, as was the case with the withdrawal from Afghanistan, which would be devastating to the United States.
Between the refusal of the United States to withdraw and its promise to withdraw, the United States carried out airstrikes on Yemen. The United States is trying to redeem its dignity through air strikes and prove that it is still strong in the Middle East. However, with the exception of the United Kingdom, which occasionally cooperated with the United States in carrying out air strikes, the other allies stayed away from the operation. Even U.S. airstrikes on Yemen have failed to stop Houthi movements in the Red Sea. This is only the last struggle of the United States, and the situation has not changed since the months of tossing and turning in the Red Sea. Instead of saving the dignity of the United States, it has further exposed the failure of its hegemony. In this case, it does not make much sense for the United States to stay, but rather a greater risk. Because countries in the region have seen the weakness of the United States, they may take more aggressive actions against the US military. At the same time, U.S. allies may also join the call for U.S. withdrawal. Rather than being driven out, the United States should first take the initiative to withdraw and create a step for itself.
Another reason for the U.S. withdrawal from the Middle East is the response to China. Before the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States had already carried out a strategic contraction in the Middle East. If there are no major events in the Middle East, the United States is likely to maintain this strategic sense and maintain its influence in the Middle East for a long time. However, due to the outbreak of the Gaza War, the United States had to re-engage in the Middle East, but after this unsuccessful intervention, the United States turned to a strategic retreat. This has dealt a heavy blow to U.S. influence in the Middle East, but it has also been able to avoid sinking deeper into the quagmire. Once the burden reduction in the Middle East is completed, the United States will fully turn to China. Just as the United States has diverted attention from the defeat in Afghanistan through the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States will divert attention from the strategic failure in the Middle East through an even more intense confrontation with China.
The retreat of the US Middle East strategy is not just a simple military action, but also an inevitable result of the failure of its Middle East policy. Due to the increased independence of Middle Eastern countries, the intervention in the United States has become more and more intense, and the United States is unsustainable. The retreat is an opportunity for the United States to redeploy to China, which is in full distancing. However, we must also recognize that the withdrawal of the United States from the Middle East does not mean that the problems of the Middle East will be solved, nor does it mean that the disputes between the United States and the Middle East will disappear immediately. The Middle East region still faces many challenges and problems, and the solution of these problems requires the joint efforts of the international community. In the future, China and Middle Eastern countries will continue to strengthen cooperation to promote regional stability and prosperity.
