The U.S Military is Not Prepared for WAR With Yemen, Lebanon #lebanon #yemennews #usmilitary Officials say they don’t expect operations in Yemen to endure years, but they admit it is uncertain when the group’s military strength will be severely weakened. Welcome everyone, in today’s video; we’re going to tell you U.S Military is Not Prepared for WAR With Yemen, Lebanon Both the United States and Iran claim they do not seek an all-out conflict. However, following months of attacks and rising tensions in the Middle East, culminating in the deaths of three American soldiers in a drone strike by Tehran-backed extremists, former Western officials and analysts worry that the two countries may be sleepwalking into conflict.

President Joe Biden has pledged punishment, although it is unclear who the United States will target. More hawkish voices are afraid that a mild response will fail to end the growing threat to American interests, while other regional watchers fear that a greater retaliation will trigger a larger war. “The United States is in danger of slow-walking itself into a war with Iran,“ said Thomas Shannon, former U.S. undersecretary of state for political affairs, the third-highest position in the State Department. Though Iran may not want a war, many believe it has been able to utilize its militias to attack American and Western interests in the region without becoming directly involved. While often using ambiguous terminology, Iran claims it has no influence over the decision-making of these groups, and Western experts concur that it is unclear how much direct authority Tehran has over these forces. Shannon, who has worked in a variety of top posts under Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump, believes that the potential of miscalculation and escalation is high due to this ambiguity. “We’re engaging with people who have every reason to escalate with us because our attacks against them elevate them in their world,“ he went on to say. These Iran proxies might position themselves as “the leading edge of resistance to the US presence in the region, to Israel, and leading the effort on behalf of Palestinians,“ he said. Iran’s proxies have long been active across the Middle East, forming what Tehran refers to as the “Axis of Resistance“ against American and Western hegemony. However, following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks and Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, these Tehran-backed militias have launched a new wave of violence, which they claim is a protest against Israel’s war and a show of sympathy for the Palestinian cause. In Lebanon, the militant group Hezbollah has fired daily missiles into Israel, eliciting an Israeli reaction and raising worries of a rerun of the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war. Yemen’s Houthis have fired rockets and drones at southern Israel and international shipping in the Red Sea, a critical bottleneck for global marine trade. Meanwhile, extremists in Iraq and Syria have targeted American outposts in both countries, as well as Jordan. On Monday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that it was “an incredibly volatile time in the Middle East.“ At a news conference, he stated that the world had “not seen a situation as dangerous as the one we’re facing now across the region since at least 1973, and arguably even before that“ — referring to the Arab-Israeli war of 1973, commonly known as the Yom Kippur War. Iran denies organizing any of this, but Western governments and independent experts claim Tehran is arming, training, or paying all of these groups to some extent. The United States and its Western allies have retaliated, targeting targets they claim are being used by Iran-linked militias in Syria and Iraq. They have also launched airstrikes against Yemen’s Houthis and led a multinational task force to secure merchant maritime routes in the Red Sea. yemen,us military,military,lebanon military emergency,history of lebanons military,military of lebanon,uk military,lebanon armed forces,united states foreign military aid,houthis yemen,israel vs palestine military,united states military,yemen war,israel military,military culture,yemen houthi,yemen crisis,yemen attack on israel with missile,military conflict,saudi-led military,houthi military attack,biden backs call for fresh election in israel
