The situation in Syria and Iraq, where US military bases are targeted by pro-Iranian forces
🇮🇶🇮🇷🇸🇾🇺🇸 To fully comprehend the gravity of the American response to strikes and attacks by fighters of the Ansarallah movement in Yemen, it is necessary to examine the situation in Syria and Iraq, where US military bases are frequently targeted by pro-Iranian forces.
📌 Since October 17, Shiite militias have targeted American military facilities more than 108 times. These facilities, numbering over ten units, have been attacked using drones, homemade rocket launchers, and ballistic missiles.
We have witnessed firsthand the US response to these attacks. While the airstrikes were more powerful in the face of greater damage, they did not critically impact the pro-Iranian groups in the region. In some instances, the Shiites killed several Americans, and in response, the US Armed Forces eliminated their adversaries. That was the extent of it.
Therefore, in the case of Yemen and specifically the Houthis, even a massive missile strike on Ansarallah targets will not significantly affect the capabilities of the Houthis. It will only provide a motive to retaliate against the coalition, setting off an endless cycle of "retaliation strikes."
