Recently, an air raid in the Middle East caused an uproar in the United States, plunging the entire country into a whirlpool of internal and external difficulties. On January 28, the U.S. military base in the Middle East suffered the first major loss, **more than 30 people,** the first time in the history of the United States to suffer such a serious blow in the region, and also made the Republican Party led by Trump indignant and carried out a crazy attack on the incumbent **Biden.
The heavy cost of the US military.
The airstrike triggered a wave of anger in the country, with calls for retaliation thunderous. Trump's Republican Party has launched a fierce attack on the political stage, accusing Biden of dereliction of duty. In the face of domestic pressure, Biden had to respond.
The twists and turns of U.S.-Iran communication.
In order to avoid an escalation of the conflict, the United States communicated with Iran, informed in advance of the coordinates and time of the air strikes, and asked Iran to avoid personnel**. However, Iran's tough response has added tensions, saying that an attack on Iran would be seen as a direct declaration of war.
At the cost of the US military, Syria and Iraq became a victim.
Due to the difficulty of direct retaliation against Iran, the United States decided to carry out massive air strikes on Syria and Iraq, targeting more than 85 targets, resulting in hundreds of people**. Biden called it retaliation for the attack, but it drew widespread condemnation from the international community.
Iran's resolute response.
Iran strongly condemned the U.S. attack, calling it an aggression against Iraq's sovereignty, arguing that the U.S. rhetoric communicated in advance was a lie aimed at evading legal responsibility and misleading the international community. Iran has said it will retaliate against the United States, plunging the entire Middle East into a deeper crisis.
Sanctions against Israel.
In the midst of this chaotic international situation, Biden** signed an executive order on February 1 declaring a national state of emergency, allowing for new measures to combat Israeli settler violence and imposing sanctions on four Israeli extremists who perpetrated violence in the West Bank. The decision caused an uproar in the country.
The domestic response has been mixed, and Biden is in a difficult situation.
The decision sparked a backlash at home, with some questioning whether Biden was going to break with the Jews, while Reuters pointed out that the United States was increasingly unhappy with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's policies. Biden signed the order with mixed feelings, both impatient because he was being bullied by Israel and walking on thin ice because he needed to weigh support for Israel and domestic pressure, and at the same time nervous about possible Israeli retaliation.
There is no solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The story reveals that Biden is unable to change America's predicament in the Middle East, and Israel becomes a problem for the United States. The contradictions between the two cannot be resolved, causing the United States to be torn between the left and the right in the Middle East. Biden tried to resolve the conflict by establishing a Palestinian state, but Israel's conditions made it difficult to reach a solution, and domestic left-right tensions put Biden in a difficult situation.
A dilemma: where does the United States go from here?
Biden faces a dilemma, either to the end with Israel and stop supporting Israel, which may lead to the United States**; Or continue to be in a dilemma and get bogged down in the quagmire of war in the Middle East. This provokes deep reflection on the decline of American hegemony, suggesting that the collapse of the United States in the Middle East has begun.
The decline of American hegemony: an unsolvable situation forced by the times.
The whole story not only reveals the insoluble situation of the United States in the Middle East, but also expresses the sadness of the decline of American hegemony in the region. Neither Trump nor Biden seems to be able to change this predicament. At the end of the story, it is mentioned that the binding of the hegemony of the dollar will end with the collapse of the hegemony, which may lead to places such as Texas**.
Looking ahead: the abyss of the Middle East quagmire.
This Middle East storm has shown us an unsolvable and complex situation, with US hegemony in the Middle East gradually collapsing, and Biden caught in a dilemma from which he cannot escape.
This may be only a small part of the Middle East's quagmire, and the future will be even more confusing. Perhaps all we can do is to be cautious in this international maelstrom in order to look forward to a more stable future. At this juncture, we need a deeper understanding of international relations in order to find room to survive in the midst of change.
