Yemen:
The United States continues its policy of militarizing the international waters surrounding Yemen in order to control the international shipping routes in the Red and Arabian Seas.
In order to enhance the American military presence in the Middle East, the US Central Command revealed in a statement issued, Thursday, the presence of the nuclear submarine “USS West Virginia” in the Arabian Sea through the visit of the Commander of the US Central Command in the Middle East, Gen. Erik Kurilla, to the submarine, which is located In a secret area in the Arabian Sea, according to the statement.
The disclosure of this visit to the nuclear submarine came two days after leaks about Washington and the Zionist entity inciting Eritrea to fabricate disputes with Yemen over the Yemeni islands in the Red Sea, with the aim of internationalizing the Yemeni islands, and finding pretexts to impose the US-Israeli military presence in the Red Sea.
The United States does not miss any occasion to talk about what it considers “the dangers of attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea,” in an attempt by Washington to promote claims that contradict reality about the safety of navigation in the Red Sea.
And in confirmation of the American “tone of hostility” that has returned significantly towards Sanaa since the beginning of this October, during which Washington accused Sana’a of “obstructing the renewal of the truce,” by demanding to pay the salaries of employees and retirees, the US envoy to Yemen, Tim Lenderking, said in an interview with "The Independent" on September 29 that his country is discussing the idea of supporting the pro-coalition government with weapons.
Observers considered this as an American threat to abandon the role that Washington plays indirectly in the war on Yemen, and go to direct intervention in the war.
New Task Force
The US Navy had announced the establishment of what it called a “new task force” with allied countries, under justifications confirming that colonial ambitions are what Washington seeks to make a reality in the Red and Arab Bahrain. The announcement of this force was preceded by US moves last March and Gulf-Zionist meetings in Riyadh and Doha.
According to observers, there is a strategic move and a tactical factor, indicating that the United States has intensified its moves to control the sea ports, not deviating from the warnings of experts and political analysts that the war on Yemen broke out to achieve the goals of controlling the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Yemeni islands. Then, handing over command and control to the leaders of the Israeli occupation later.
Ongoing Naval Maneuvers
This year 2022 witnessed many military maneuvers in which the Israeli occupation participated, while the theater of these maneuvers was the Red and Arab Bahrain, and they were conducted under the pretext of “securing navigation in the Red Sea”; However, such futile justifications are quickly revealed through the statements of the Israeli entity itself, which exaggerates its preparations for its goals by putting forward such justifications. The 12 Israeli channel reported news in which it clarified that the “Israel” army considers Yemen a new front, which it must prepare to confront.
These maneuvers represent dangerous updates for the security of the Middle East, especially after Washington has militarized the Red Sea through continuous maneuvers in partnership with the Israeli entity. Through these maneuvers, Washington aims to show its strength in order to control the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab, taking advantage of the state of war that has been taking place by the US-Saudi aggression on Yemen.
The “Jerusalem Post” affiliated with the Israeli occupation said that normalization between “Israel” and the countries of the Saudi-Emirati alliance makes a direct interest for Israel in the war on Yemen, more than ever.
The newspaper pointed to reports confirming the intentions of the United States to establish a military base on the Yemeni island of Mayon near the Bab al-Mandab Strait, “to protect the US’s interests and ensure the security of Israel.
The newspaper said that Israel, Saudi Arabia and the UAE consider the strait as a key strategic importance in ensuring access to the Indian Ocean and beyond.
Satellite images showed that the US had begun establishing a military base on the Yemeni island of Mayon, securing the port of Eilat in southern occupied Palestine provides access not only to the Suez Canal. It also provides access to the Red Sea and through Bab al-Mandab to the Indian Ocean and beyond, which is of vital importance for Tel Aviv, especially as a gateway to the Far East and China, which is a major trading partner of the entity.
Importance of the Red Sea
The Red Sea is a major artery for international trade. Through it, Arab oil exports pass through the Gulf by 86%, and it is a passage for trade movement between Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as America. 30% of the world's oil annually passes through it, at a rate of 4.5 million barrels per day.
The value of goods and merchandise transiting the Red Sea is estimated at about $2.5 trillion annually, representing about 15% of global trade. And through it, 60% of European energy needs and about 25% of American needs of Gulf oil pass.
Maritime Privileges at Risk
All of these concessions are exposed to the risks of joint maneuvers in the Red Sea, since the main goal of the US and the Zionist entity is to control the ports overlooking it and to control the freedom of maritime navigation.
According to military experts, the maneuvers pose great dangers in the Red Sea, including besieging the countries bordering on it, turning it into a main gateway between the continents that closes at the desired time and when America wants to.
Building an Israeli base for direct support of the coalition’s tools in the region, as well as the militarization of the Red Sea through a joint military presence can explode war at any time, making the Red Sea a theater of operations and this will have disastrous results in the coming days.
As long as these maneuvers continue to strengthen the American-Israeli presence, related to a military, political, strategic and economic agenda, danger is not limited to Yemen alone but to all countries of the world, especially China.
