Foreword:

TASS reported on April 17 that U.S. President Trump said he hoped to receive Russia's reply on the Ukraine ceasefire issue this week. This shows that the United States is very anxious to achieve a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The U.S. has expressed its desire for Ukraine to accept the ceasefire plan through various means and has also put pressure on Russia. The U.S. is so anxious because they want to concentrate all their strength to stabilize the Houthi armed group in the Middle East direction, then concentrate all their strength on the Indo-Pacific direction.

The Houthi armed group warned of strikes against the U.S. and its supporters, emphasizing that drones and missiles are ready. The U.S. military wants to completely solve this thorny problem of the Houthi armed group and has carried out dozens of rounds of bombings, targeting underground factories, ammunition depots, and command locations of the Houthi armed group. The U.S. airstrikes have resulted in over 200 civilian casualties, with more than ten members of the Houthi armed group's senior leadership dead or injured. However, the Houthi armed group remains tough and refuses to surrender, determined to fight the U.S. to the end.

The U.S. military has always wanted to launch a ground offensive but is unwilling to do it themselves. They know that once they get involved in ground operations in Yemen, there will be significant casualties, which will put the U.S. under domestic pressure. The U.S. forces Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, and the Yemeni government to deploy ground troops for attacks. In response to the new situation where Arab countries support the U.S. and participate in the attack on the Houthi armed group, the Houthi armed group has issued a clear warning.

The Houthi armed group publicly warned that any country supporting the U.S.-Israeli military actions would face attacks from the Houthi armed group. The Houthi armed group warned that they had prepared a large number of drones and missiles, ready to strike those countries supporting the U.S. military at any time. The Houthis angrily pointed out that the Arab countries are not attacking Israel, which causes humanitarian disasters in Gaza, but instead are attacking the Houthi armed group in response to Gaza, which is entirely on the wrong side of justice.

The 80,000-strong army led by Saudi Arabia is in place, and maritime and air support have been adjusted and deployed, ready to attack at any time. Abdulaziz Sager, a political scientist at the Saudi Center for Persian Studies, said that about 80,000 troops have been mobilized and assembled. It is reported that these 80,000 troops are mainly for the siege of Hodeidah, thereby completely ending the Houthi armed group's ability to attack U.S. and Israeli warships and merchant ships in the Red Sea.

The 80,000-strong army led by Saudi Arabia will mainly carry out ground offensives, posing a direct threat to the Houthi armed group. On March 15, U.S. President Trump ordered airstrikes on the Houthi armed group, and so far, the number of airstrikes has exceeded 330 times. This time, the U.S. military has meticulously organized the 80,000-strong army to thoroughly subdue the Houthi armed group, truly removing Israel's concerns in the Middle East. The U.S. military will also cooperate with the 80,000-strong army, ready to start fighting at any time.

Before the war starts, the U.S. military begins to calculate how to avoid casualties, with more than 600 U.S. troops preparing to flee. Although the large-scale ground offensive against the Houthi armed group has not yet started, the U.S. military has already begun calculating how to avoid casualties. The U.S. military lets Saudi soldiers and Yemeni government troops take the lead while they mainly provide rear support and air support. A senior U.S. official said that the U.S. military is closing three of its eight small combat bases in northeastern Syria, reducing the number of troops from 2,000 to about 1,400. More than 600 U.S. troops are preparing to flee from Syria to avoid retaliation from the Houthi armed group.
