The US military admitted that attacking the Houthi rebels in Yemen is not cost-effective.
Recently, Brian Fenton, commander of the US Special Operations Command, testified before Congress, pointing out, "A $10,000 drone versus a $2 million missile, the advantage lies with the enemy!"
Yemen is a very poor country, and the Houthi rebels are just a local militia in Yemen. However, the Houthi rebels can frequently use drones to attack US aircraft carrier strike groups, depleting US air defense missiles. In order to prevent the aircraft carriers from being hit, the US has no choice but to use an air defense missile worth $2 million to intercept a drone costing only $10,000.
A country with a population of 80 million and a territory of 1.5 million square kilometers is called a medium-sized major power, and Iran is one of them. The drones and missiles used by the Houthi rebels in Yemen all come from Iran, which means that Iran's drones and missiles can also continuously attack US aircraft carrier strike groups. Once the US takes military action against Iran, the losses will only be greater. Iran will make the US pay a heavy price with its strength and resilience.
