Preface:

The United States has realized its predicament and the strategy to break it is a comprehensive offensive to defeat each part separately. However, the U.S. no longer has the deterrent power it once had when wielding hegemony, as its current strength is insufficient to support its hegemonic ambitions. Despite the unfavorable situation for the U.S. military, the U.S. is still unwilling to give up its到处出击approach. The U.S. is now incapable of influencing the situation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and even controlling Ukraine seems beyond its capability. Although the U.S. airstrikes against Houthi armed forces in the Middle East have achieved significant results, the first to compromise was the U.S.

US missiles hit the Houthis' command headquarters and underground ammunition depot, causing explosions throughout the night. To force the Houthis to compromise, the US deployed two carrier strike groups and more than 30% of its B2 bombers for deterrence and strikes. US aircraft carried out intense bombings on Houthi armed forces, continuously hitting some key targets of the Houthis, achieving certain bombing results. The video released by the US Central Command claimed that a "command headquarters" of the Houthis in the capital of Yemen, Sana'a, was destroyed during the bombing.

It was later confirmed that this so-called command headquarters was an old military command center from Saleh's era. The images released by the US military showed that this command center had become ruins after being bombed. According to the US military, this bombing was very successful, with several high-ranking Houthi officials killed. In the past half month, the US military has spent over $1 billion on bombing the Houthis, which is a heavy investment under the backdrop of the US cutting expenses significantly.

It was reported that within 48 hours, the US military conducted more than 30 airstrikes against the Houthis, focusing on the underground missile ammunition base near Mount Nukum in the capital Sana'a of Yemen. Since the start of the air strikes, the US military has never found the key underground ammunition base of the Houthis, making this precise bombing quite rare success. After the US missiles hit the base, the Houthi ammunition depot exploded all night, with at least dozens of explosions caused by the ammunition ignition.

The US bombing momentum remains strong, but the first to back down was not the Houthis but the US itself. Recently, the US has been heavily bombing, attempting to force the Houthis to surrender. However, the Houthis have remained unusually tough, refusing to surrender and continuously attacking Israeli mainland targets and US warships. The aggressive US has taken the lead in backing down, actively reaching out to the Houthis and requesting them to stop attacks. According to Lebanon's Al-Akhbar newspaper, informed sources in Sana'a revealed that the US government made a request through diplomatic channels to the Houthis.

It was reported that the US requested the Houthis to stop attacking US warships, with the return being the US stopping its airstrikes against the Houthis. Surprisingly, the Houthis did not accept the US request but chose to reject it. The Houthis emphasized that the condition for halting attacks was Israel stopping its attacks on Gaza; otherwise, they would continue to fight until the end. The US' proactive compromise and sending signals of submission indicate that continuing this way is unbearable for their economic losses.

At a tense moment in the Middle East, the UK's aircraft carrier battle group sets sail fully loaded for the Indo-Pacific region to cooperate with the US in deterrence. Clearly, the Middle East is not a strategic focus for the US military; this move is entirely due to Israel. At a time when tensions are rising in the Middle East, the UK, a loyal ally of the US, has begun dispatching an aircraft carrier battle group to the Indo-Pacific. According to reports, the UK Ministry of Defense announced on the 8th that the aircraft carrier strike group led by the HMS Prince of Wales will set sail on the 22nd to the "Indo-Pacific region." This time, the UK aircraft carrier is fully loaded with ammunition, clearly indicating hostility.
