Tensions in Iran: U.S. military retaliates against Iraqi militias, Iran withdraws from Syrian air basesRecently, the U.S. military retaliated against Iranian-backed Iraqi militias, with airstrikes on multiple targets in Syria and Iraq. This action has sparked concern and concern around the world. Not to be outdone, the Iranian side withdrew its air base in Syria as a warning to the United States. This series of events has led to speculation about whether there will be an all-out war on the horizon. US Admiral Stavridis said that if Iran does not stop and stop, it must strike at Iran's sovereign territory. This seems to imply that the United States does not rule out the possibility of a war against Iran itself. However, it is reassuring to note that so far, the United States ** Biden has not immediately retaliated directly against Iran, but has chosen to retaliate against Iranian-backed militias. This may be due to his preference for resolving issues diplomatically rather than militarily escalating tensions. Iran is an industrially powerhouse in the region with numerous allies, including Allah in Lebanon, militias in Iraq, and the Houthis. The support of these allies for Iran is a key factor in Iran's significant influence in regional affairs.
In particular, the Houthis have recently inflicted losses on the US and British coalition forces in the Red Sea region and have said they will continue to attack US targets. This has led to fears that Iran will use its allies to form an east-west flank and pose a greater threat to the United States and other Western countries. In addition, Iran has a large paramilitary force. According to the latest figures, more than 165,000 civilians have been transformed into a paramilitary force to form a reserve army. The presence of this army allows Iran to mobilize a large number of human resources in a short period of time, enhancing its strategic deterrence. But will Iran, despite its industrial might, multiple allies, and vast paramilitary force, be strong enough to withstand a U.S. strike? This is a matter of concern. After all, the United States is one of the most powerful military forces in the world, with advanced equipment and strong combat capabilities. If there is a real all-out war, will Iran be able to withstand the pressure of the United States? In addition, we cannot ignore the influence of external factors. Other countries in the region may choose to take sides and join the side of the war. Moreover, the war is likely to spread to other countries, with serious implications for regional and global security and stability.
This begs the question, is there an alternative solution to avoid the outbreak of war? Despite the current tense situation, we hope that all parties will exercise restraint and resolve their differences through dialogue and negotiation. War is not the best way to solve problems, it will only bring great harm and losses to all parties. We should cherish peace and work together to build a stable and harmonious world.

The militia claims to have more than 160,000 members with military training and qualifications, which has allowed them to bolster their military strength and provide support to Iran at a time of tension with Iran. Since January 12 this year, the Houthis have reportedly claimed that 600,000 people have undergone various trainings to prepare for combat. They declared that they would immediately join the fight as soon as the United States acted against Iran. The Houthis and the US-British coalition have repeatedly fought in the Red Sea and Yemeni regions, demonstrating their formidable strength. For the US military, if they take military action against Iran, Iran may block the Strait of Hormuz and launch an attack on the US military in the Red Sea region. Therefore, both the US military and Iran are currently taking precautions to avoid an escalation of the conflict. The growth of the Houthis raises many questions and concerns. First, will the build-up of their military power further exacerbate the situation in the civil war in Yemen, leading to more personnel ** and a humanitarian crisis? Second, will their relationship with Iran provoke a broader conflict in the region? Finally, should the United States and the international community take action to contain the growth of the Houthis and maintain stability in the region?
The expansion of the Houthis has also raised concerns about Iran's influence in the Middle East. Iran has been seen as a major disruptor in the region, with various armed groups it supports operating in Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere, posing a threat to stability in the region. The growth of the Houthis could further escalate tensions between Iran and regional countries such as Saudi Arabia and prompt other countries to take action to curb Iran's influence. While the Houthis are not to be underestimated, they also face many challenges. First, they need to effectively manage such a large number of members, ensuring that they receive proper training and mentoring. Secondly, they need to receive sufficient ** equipment and material support to sustain their military operations. Finally, they also need to face challenges from other parties to the conflict, including fighting with Yemen** and other armed groups. The growth of the Houthis has had a profound impact on the stability of the Middle East and has also aroused the attention of the international community. At present, all parties are seeking ways to resolve this issue in order to avoid further conflict and humanitarian crisis.
However, long-term stability and peace must be achieved through political dialogue and diplomatic efforts to address the region's fundamental problems and provide sustainable solutions for all parties. Only in this way can the tensions between the Houthis and Iran and other parties be fundamentally resolved and regional peace and prosperity can be achieved.
