Israel Has DESTROYED Itself as Yemen, Iran, Lebanon Prepare For WAR #israelpalestineconflict #yemen #iran Pressure is mounting on Biden to strike the Houthis, but this could mean war in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran. Welcome everyone, in today’s video; we’re going to tell you Israel Has DESTROYED Itself as Yemen, Iran, Lebanon Prepare For WAR The Houthis, Iran’s proxy in Yemen, have been firing missiles and drones at commercial shipping and naval vessels, as well as southern Israel, for weeks. Global markets are rattled as the threat to shipping through the Bab al-Mandeb strait grows.

However, the war has the potential to escalate significantly. The Biden administration is under increasing pressure to respond to Iran and its Houthi partner in order to halt these attacks. Proponents of a strong response believe that it will deter a larger conflict. However, if the United States goes too far, it risks entering a war that it desperately needs to avoid. The horror of the conflict between Israel and Gaza is bad enough, but a larger conflagration would be disastrous for the US, Israel, and the people of the region. A broader conflict could involve Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Israel, and Iran itself. It would occur at an already precarious time in global security, when the United States is struggling to provide more aid to Ukraine and managing rising tensions in east Asia over Taiwan and the South China Sea. Regional and global consequences would be unavoidable and could last decades, plunging the US back into large-scale Middle East conflicts that it cannot afford. Since Hamas’ attack on October 7, a regional war has been narrowly avoided. Iran, which has long provided financial and political support to Hamas, has allowed its proxies in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon to attack US and Israeli targets. The United States and Israel have retaliated against Iran’s proxies, and in at least one case, against Iranian forces themselves. Fortunately, these low-level attacks have not escalated into a larger conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States. The two US aircraft carriers stationed off Israel’s coast appear to have helped deter Hezbollah from launching large-scale attacks from the north. Meanwhile, the Biden administration has limited Israel’s ability to conduct full-scale operations in Lebanon. Unfortunately, continued Houthi harassment of Red Sea shipping raises the risk of escalating the conflict. The Houthis are a radical insurgent group that controls a large portion of Yemen, including its capital. They are extremely hostile to Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the United States. Since October, Houthi forces have attacked ships passing through the Red Sea with drones and cruise missiles. In November, they hijacked a commercial vessel and kidnapped the crew. The US Navy has shot down dozens of these missiles and drones, but it cannot intercept everything the Houthis launch indefinitely. Some analysts warn that the principle of free navigation could be jeopardised. More concerning are the immediate economic costs to global shipping and oil prices, especially since inflation appears to have been brought under control. The precise magnitude of the economic damage is difficult to predict, but real damage may occur and will most likely increase over time as more vessels are rerouted. Prior to the crisis, 12 percent of global trade and 30 percent of container shipping passed through the Red Sea route. The Cape of Good Hope is the main alternative route, but it takes much longer and costs more.
