Is the US Ready to Deploy Military Force Against the Houthis? A Closer Look at Washington’s Ongoing Military Developments

The United States’ involvement in the Middle East is being scrutinized in the wake of its support for the Israeli war on Gaza. Amidst this global attention, the focus has shifted towards the enigmatic military developments in the southern Red Sea, with the US taking center stage. The emerging military developments in the southern Red Sea have raised eyebrows, presenting contrasting priorities and objectives compared to the American deterrence plans implemented in the same region months before the Al-Aqsa Flood battle.

The US deployment of “USS Bataan” and “USS Carter Hall” destroyers, carrying 3,000 American soldiers to the operational area of the US Central Command, has signified a substantial military move. This action follows American aircraft deployments to the region in March, aligning with an earlier announcement in July. These developments were initially construed as a response to American discontent with significant shifts in the relations of its traditional allies, notably the Saudis, towards the emerging economic superpower, China.

Some observers view these military maneuvers as an attempt to deter and redirect the behavior of American allies, ensuring alignment with US interests. Notably, the historic reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran, spearheaded by China, has potentially influenced these moves. With the aim of halting the diminishing international reputation of Israel, it is speculated that the US may consider military action against the Houthi movement in Yemen.
