A drone carried out an air strike on a Jordanian military base, killing three people, wounding 34 and seriously wounding eight. It was the worst attack the U.S. team has faced in the Middle East in recent years.
There is information that Hussea and Iran may be behind the attack. Both countries, like their U.S. rivals in the Middle East, have drones capable of carrying out suicide attacks. This type of aircraft can carry bombs, fly directly to the designated place, and detonate the bomb.
U.S. news revealed that most of the U.S. ** people sleep in their dormitories. An unmanned aerial vehicle, taking advantage of this opportunity, plunged headlong into an apartment building, causing a violent ** sound. That's what caused such a big loss.
It is worth mentioning that, unlike usual, the United States did not hide or reduce their losses, on the contrary, it made clear the severity of the attack. A White House spokeswoman said the United States would take action against the attackers and would never let them go unpunished.
So how will the United States fight back? Will there be a major war in the Middle East?
But now it seems unlikely. This is because the United States has not increased its forces and has not carried out large-scale military operations in the Middle East. The main force of the United States in the Middle East is now the navy, and its first task is to defend the sea routes in the western region. The United States has only a fairly small army stationed in the Middle East and is not equipped with heavy **.
This shows that the United States is not fully prepared for large-scale military activities in the Middle East. Moreover, the United States does not want the Middle East to be redrawn into a war. The United States withdrew its troops from Afghanistan after 20 years of war. The United States is also becoming less and less influential in Iraq. Facts have shown that the US attack on the Middle East region ended in failure.
If the United States were to go to war with Iran or the Houthis, the United States would take a lot of risks and pay a lot of costs. Iran and the Houthis are powerful and will not surrender so easily. What's more, the United States no longer has the strength it used to be, and the United States does not have any strong alliances.
Therefore, the biggest retaliatory means of the United States should be to impose certain restrictions on some specific military forces, such as Iran and the Houthis, by means of aerial bombing and assassination. On the one hand, this is to show the strength of the United States, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent further intensification of contradictions.
But this revenge can't make things better. Iran and the Houthis have not ceased hostilities with the United States as a result of the American attack. It is very likely that they will use the same means to continuously harass and intimidate American bases in the Middle East.
As a result, the United States is faced with an awkward situation. If the United States does not do anything wrong, it will damage its position and interests in the Middle East. If the United States were to go to war with Iran or the Houthis, the situation in the Middle East would become more complicated and dangerous.
It is estimated that the US troubles in the Middle East will not be resolved for a while.
