Yemen's Houthis recently launched a ship attack on the British and American**, and according to a Houthi spokesman, they successfully hit two ships in response to the massive British and American bombing campaign against Yemen. However, Britain and the United States immediately came forward to explain that the ship that was hit did not suffer major damage, and the crew did not **. This interpretation is not widely accepted. Recently, a foreign media ** recorded a scene, claiming that the oil tanker was full of burning sounds during the attack, but fortunately, the Indian Navy sent ships to extinguish the fire, so that the oil tanker escaped the fate of sinking. A large number of Western shipping companies have already refused to pass through the Red Sea shipping lanes, so they cannot believe the Anglo-American explanations.
The stubborn resistance of the Houthis is admirable. Despite more than eight successive rounds of massive bombing by Britain and the United States, which allegedly destroyed 25 missile launch sites of the Houthis, the Houthis should theoretically have become weaker. However, the reality shows that the Houthis are not less capable of attacking the British and American navies. Analysts speculate that the Houthis may have been supported by other military powers to wage a "war of attrition" against Britain and the United States on the Red Sea. This confrontation has put Britain and the United States in an embarrassing position, not only debunking the "military myth" they have promoted, but also exposing their reluctance to use ground troops to launch an offensive against the Houthis, resulting in a stronger and stronger counterattack by the Houthis. It can be said that with this confrontation alone, Britain and the United States may not be able to achieve victory.
While the United States was still agonizing over these attacks, an even bigger problem came to Biden. Although Iran declared that it would not seek an armed confrontation with the United States, it issued a strong warning to the United States, saying that any threat to Iran would be responded to most resolutely, and that Iran would not be afraid to confront the United States. Such an attitude clearly tells the United States that it is not qualified to meddle in Middle East affairs. If the United States remains bent on rampage in the Middle East, Iran may strike back. It is worth noting that Iran has a large number of armed groups in the Middle East, and the Houthis are only one of them. If Iran directs all these armed groups to launch an attack on the United States at the same time, the US military stationed in the Middle East will face a devastating blow. In addition, Iran has recently established an anti-hegemonic strategic cooperation relationship with Russia, and it is said that the two sides will also jointly develop and manufacture various advanced **. This means that once the US-Iraq war breaks out, the United States will face an even more difficult situation, losing its absolute superiority in both military strength and equipment. The United States has previously shown weakness in asymmetric wars, and even lost face, and if it faces a reciprocal war, then only defeat awaits the United States.
From these events, we can see the continued resistance and counterattack of the Houthis and Iran against the British and Americans. Not only did they compete in strength, but they also expanded their influence through international politics and strategic cooperation, putting Britain and the United States in a difficult position. It also exposes the weakness of the military superiority advocated by Britain and the United States, and raises questions about the position and military policy of the United States in the Middle East. Today, with the changing global pattern, military strength is no longer the only guarantee of victory. Personally, I believe that in order to safeguard their own interests and achieve regional stability, all parties in the international community should resolve disputes through dialogue and cooperation, rather than relying on force. Only in this way can we build a peaceful and stable world.
