According to the Global Times, Yemen's Houthi rebels fought fiercely with the U.S. military's merchant fleet in the Red Sea region and won a major victory. Houthi spokesman Yahya Sareya announced that the missile they fired successfully hit a US warship. The battle lasted more than two hours, and the Houthi missiles hit the target accurately, but the US military failed to stop the Houthi missile strike. With the tide of the war already unfavorable to the U.S. military, the two protected U.S. merchant ships had to quickly withdraw from the combat area to ensure the safety of their crews.
The actions of the Houthis in this battle showed their superiority in strategy and firepower. They targeted two ships of the Danish giant Maersk, both of which were flying the American flag, and according to information released by Maersk, the ships in question carried goods from several American agencies, including the Pentagon. The news led to speculation that the two merchant ships were most likely transporting military-related supplies. The Houthis speculated that the two merchant ships might be linked to U.S. and Israeli military activities, so they made them a key target.
Although the US military did not admit the news that the warship was hit, it did not completely deny the Houthi missile attack. They claim that two of the three missiles fired by the Houthis were intercepted and only one fell into the water. However, Maersk's statement confirmed that witnesses on the merchant ship did see ** and that the U.S. military did arrange for two merchant ships to turn around and flee back to the Gulf of Aden. Although the US military claimed that the warship was not damaged, it is very likely that the US military suffered some losses in this missile attack. This means that the Houthi missile attacks could be more powerful than the US military officially claims.
In this battle, if the Houthi missiles really hit the US warship, it will deal a serious blow to the morale of the US military. The USS Graveley, the main force of the United States participating in the interception operation, belongs to the Burke-class destroyer, and if it is hit by a missile, it will bring huge losses and confusion to the US military. Out of self-esteem and image considerations, the US side will not openly admit it, even if they have suffered a major blow. However, the U.S. military's U-turn and escape from the combat zone has already shown weakness on the part of the U.S. military.
In this incident, the US Navy was unable to stop the Houthi missile strikes on merchant ships, indicating that the Houthis have a certain degree of control over this important waterway in the Red Sea. In particular, the Houthis are focusing on US and Israeli vessels, which will have a significant impact on both US and Israeli sides. The U.S. Navy's weakness in this battle will not only weaken its authority in the region, but will also put enormous pressure on Israel's military operations. The Houthis have demonstrated their ability to deter the Red Sea with missile strikes, which will make the United States and Israel more cautious in their actions in the region.
The reasons for Houthi missile attacks on merchant ships are yet to be understood. According to Maersk's statement and foreign media reports, the two attacked merchant ships participated in the cargo transportation operation of the US side. This suggests that the United States may be trying to drop military supplies to sensitive areas, such as Ukraine or Israel, through some merchant ships. If the Houthis find out that these merchant ships are carrying military supplies, they will have an incentive to attack them.
The determination and motives of the Houthis to launch attacks against the United States and Israel cannot be ignored. According to the Houthi manifesto, they have always regarded the United States and Israel as enemies and stressed that their resistance is to protect their interests and territory. The Houthis aspire to reshape the balance of power in the Middle East and demonstrate their power to the outside world. Through attacks on U.S. warships and merchant ships, the Houthis are trying to demonstrate to the world what they are capable of as a formidable military force.
The Houthi attack on a US warship and the attack on a merchant ship have shown us the grim situation of the confrontation of forces in the Middle East. The Houthis demonstrated their superiority in strategy and firepower by attacking US warships with missiles. This incident not only had a significant impact on the morale of the US military, but also demonstrated to the world the strength of the Houthis as a military force.
At the same time, the Houthi strikes on U.S.-Israeli merchant ships underscore their determination and motivation. The Houthis see the United States and Israel as enemies and are trying to demonstrate their strength by striking their ships. The implications for the U.S. military and Israel will be far-reaching.
Finally, this incident is also a reminder that the situation in the Middle East remains unstable. All parties should take practical measures to resolve disputes through dialogue and negotiation in order to maintain regional peace and stability. Only through such efforts can similar military conflicts be avoided and a better environment for the development and prosperity of the Middle East region can be created.
