The conflict in the Red Sea region has become the focus of global attention, and the escalating confrontation between Western countries and Islamic countries has had a profound impact on the global landscape. The Houthis and other military forces directly threaten the interests of Western countries by blocking the Red Sea shipping lanes, forcing the United States to intervene. However, even the arrival of the American aircraft carrier battle group in the Red Sea has not been able to turn the tide;There are even reports of the rapid withdrawal of the US aircraft carrier battle group from the Red Sea after the strike. Subsequently, 13 countries led by the United States jointly issued a final warning to the Houthis, demanding that they immediately stop attacking Red Sea cargo ships, or face the consequences.
However, the Houthis showed their will to remain strong by detonating an unmanned boat filled with explosives on the Red Sea shipping lanes the next day. This shows that the United States is currently in a difficult situation, and Biden is also under great pressure. The United States noted that there are growing calls for a stronger military response from Biden to the Houthis, while the United States has begun to evaluate options, including military strikes. From the point of view of the development of the situation, it seems that a military strike has become an inevitable option.
The geopolitical game in the Middle East is in full swing, with the assassination of a senior Iranian general, the siege of Israel by many countries, and the disruption of the Red Sea shipping lanes all exposing the gravity of the situation. In addition, the blocking of the Red Sea shipping lanes has also caused serious damage to the interests of the United States and Western countries, so continued delay will only lead to greater loss of interests. Under these circumstances, the United States seems to have fallen into the quagmire of war from which it is difficult to get out, and only through war can it safeguard its own interests. However, a military strike can lead to huge losses.
While the United States can achieve military success in the Middle East, it cannot be ignored that the United States does not have complete control over the political, military, and economic situation on the ground, which could once again draw the United States into the quagmire of a protracted war. The current strategic focus of the United States is clearly biased towards East Asia, and containing China's rise has become a bipartisan consensus. Therefore, if it intervenes in the strike against the Houthis, it may plunge the United States into a confrontation with the entire Islamic world, and there is no time to take care of China, which is also Biden**'s concern. In general, the current situation is a dilemma.
I believe that as the United States approaches this year, the influence of public opinion will force Biden to make a choice, and hawkish politicians and the military-industrial complex will inevitably drive military action. Therefore, it is quite possible that Biden will act. Whether such actions will be confined to the Red Sea region or will affect the entire Middle East is an extremely difficult question to control, because every move could have far-reaching consequences, and if the United States takes one wrong step, it could fall into a trough completely.
