In addition, Trump said that if the Houthi armed forces in Yemen attack Saudi ships again, the United States will hold Iran responsible and impose "major military punishment" on Iran and the Houthi armed forces. On the same day, Israeli Defense Minister Katz said that he was ready to deal with the situation in Iran. Iran said it was ready to respond to a ground invasion by the US military and said it would continue to attack US military targets until the US stopped. The Houthi armed forces in Yemen stated that if the United States takes military action in Yemen again, the Houthi armed forces are "ready to respond." Trump threatens to "punish Iran and Houthis" U.S. President Trump said on the 23rd that he was "seriously considering" restarting large-scale combat operations against Iran. Trump said in an interview that day: " I am considering a massive strike, unprecedented in scale. I'm close to making a decision. We are fully prepared for this. He said that the Iranian side "wants to negotiate" but is not ready to reach an agreement yet and the lessons they have learned are not profound enough. Trump also said that Israel "would join in two minutes" if he asked, but added that "nobody is needed" to help launch new operations against Iran and said there would be "consequences" if Israel participated in strikes, suggesting Iran would retaliate against Israel. The day before, there was news from the United States that the United States was sending additional troops, medical personnel and weapons and equipment to the Middle East in order to provide US President Trump with "more powerful military options." In response to the previous announcement by the Houthi armed forces in Yemen on the early morning of the 23rd that they would use missiles and Regarding the attack on two Saudi Arabian oil tankers in the Red Sea, Trump stated on social media on the 23rd, If the Houthi armed forces in Yemen attack Saudi ships again, the United States will hold Iran responsible and impose "significant military penalties" on Iran and the Houthi armed forces. Recently, the Houthi armed forces in Yemen announced a maritime embargo on Saudi Arabia. Risks have risen sharply, and the United States has frequently expressed its intention to take action. However, analysts believe that once the United States intervenes in the Red Sea, it will face a series of problems: *The U.S. military may be forced to fight on two fronts: Jason Campbell, a senior researcher at the U.S. Middle East Institute, recently warned that once the U.S. military intervenes in the Red Sea situation, it may be forced to fight on both sides. By then, the US military may have to transfer some warships from the Persian Gulf to the waters near Yemen to attack Houthi armed targets and intercept missiles and missiles. . In addition, a two-front war will further consume the already tight ammunition inventory of the United States. *Differences arise within the allies: U.S. analysts say that as the situation in the Red Sea heats up, U.S. Gulf allies are also experiencing clear differences over the next steps of the U.S. due to continued damage to their security and economy. Some officials believe Trump should escalate military action, including sending ground troops to parts of Iran and even seizing the island of Khark, a major oil export hub. However, some countries, including Qatar, oppose the expansion of military operations and hope to cool down the situation as soon as possible. Because sending ground troops or capturing Khark Island may not only lead to more violent retaliation from Iran, but will also further push up oil prices.
