The U.S. announced strikes against Iranian-backed militias, carrying out more than 120 airstrikes in the Middle East in just two days, even using long-range bombers from the U.S. mainland.
This tough response has attracted the attention of the world, and it seems to mark the US hegemony once again coming forward, but the turbulence behind it has led to speculation that the Middle East will face a new confrontation climax. U.S. affairs assistant Jake Sullivan said this is just the beginning and gives a harbinger of more turmoil in the future.
This so-called "revenge" is in essence a new round of aggression. The United States has borrowed the justification of Israel's attack on Hamas and has packaged its aggression as "destiny" in an attempt to justify it internationally.
Unlike Israel, the United States has more complex concerns and is clearly moving cautiously, leaving some way out.
The United States has targeted only militias, not Iran. Although the United States first blamed Iran after the death of three US soldiers, when it came to the actual action, Biden avoided the possibility of a direct exchange of fire with Iran. Behind this action, perhaps Biden has found an explanation for the US military, rather than real retaliation.
In the face of all this, the United States is still trying to present less time in front of the screen, employing two strategies.
The United States has tried to act as an intermediary, sending a message of "conciliation" through several visits to the Middle East, including Blinken's trip after the "air strikes", aimed at reassuring Middle Eastern countries and preventing the conflict from continuing to escalate. The United States has stepped up its support for the ** people and continues to carry out operations through the ** people. The U.S. Congress has moved swiftly on the aid bill, and although the targets of support are different, support for Israel remains bipartisan.
Despite Israel's advanced ** and ample ammunition, Hamas has persisted in its resistance to this day.
The current US support may not have had the desired effect on the turmoil in the Middle East, but rather highlights the helplessness and predicament of the United States. The United States, which seems to be powerful on the outside, can only watch and cannot really make a move, because the blade is already rusty and cannot withstand a large challenge.
The United States may have only one option, and that is a "restart" approach in the hope of reversing the current situation. This is also a complicated game, the United States has saved too many enemies for itself, and if it wants to get out of the predicament, I am afraid that the only way to seek a new breakthrough is through "restarting".
