/ world today news/ Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin’s phrase of “unconditional support” for Israel will not lead to anything good for the US. Now they will also have to deal with the Houthis.
Austin announced the launch of the multinational Operation Prosperity Guardian:
„The operation will bring together several countries, including the UK, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, the Seychelles and Spain, to jointly address security concerns in the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden to ensure freedom of navigation for all countries and strengthening regional security’.
Let me remind you that due to Houthi attacks in the Red Sea with missiles and UAVs on ships heading to Israeli ports or belonging to Israel:
-
Leading global logistics companies CMA CGM, Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd and ZIM, which control 53% of global container trade, have stopped using the Bab el Mandeb Strait.
They will have to use a new route between Rotterdam and Singapore – around Africa, more than 20 thousand km long. The previous one, through the Suez Canal, had a length of 15 thousand km.
Interestingly, Israel itself receives only about 5% of its supplies through the Red Sea. The blow came on the globalized world economy.
At the same time, Israel has specific economic interests. From the total cleansing of the Gaza Strip, Tel Aviv itself wants to receive a major reward in the form of confiscation of all offshore natural gas reserves worth billions of dollars. So it intends to become a major exporter of gas and, possibly, oil.
At the same time, Tel Aviv is ready to target the lands of Lebanon and even potentially Syria. Incidentally, after capturing the Golan Heights from Syria in the Six Day War, Israel made the strategically important Lake Tiberias its internal reservoir and deprived the Syrian people of their most important source of water.
Naturally, without the unconditional support of the United States, Israel would hardly have dared to undertake such a ground operation in Gaza with such limitless cruelty. And he would hardly threaten to intervene in Lebanon to drive pro-Iranian Hezbollah across the Litani River.
And unconditional support from the US implies restraint, as well as participation in military actions on the part of Israel. What we will now see directly during the operation Prosperity Guardian directed against the Houthis.
I have no doubt that the Houthis will receive abundant military and technical assistance from Iran. Russia can also help, unadvertised, with both information and advice, and in some cases by targeting Houthi missiles via satellites. The US and NATO are making the most of it in Ukraine. We, accordingly, must at least pay them the change in the same coin.
From the list of countries participating in Operation Prosperity Guardian, we are primarily interested in the ships of the US and British Navy, as initiators and moderators of the war in Ukraine, as well as Norway, as an accomplice in undermining Nord Streams. We can ask you to focus on them.
Again, Houthi operations may go global and target the territory of the United States and its allies in response to coalition strikes on Yemeni national territory.
I note that the DPRK has a well-developed tactic of blowing up civilian ships loaded with explosives in foreign ports. North Koreans can share experiences. And by coincidence, a US Navy nuclear submarine that had previously visited South Korean ports would be attacked.
Atlantic sea trade routes connecting the US and Europe are also vulnerable. They provide significant energy supplies to the EU.
Damage to several gas carriers and oil tankers by a semi-submersible kamikaze boat or a Houthi naval mine would dramatically increase the cost of shipping and insurance, and consequently the price of gas and oil. And the Atlantic Ocean is not the Red Sea. You can’t cover everything.
Russia must learn to play hybrid warfare. Only action on the real decision-making centers, their logistics and communications infrastructure, and their economies will force the United States and the West to consider our interests.
