Middle East conflict escalates: Iran and Huthi militia beat back!

In the past few days, the situation in the Middle East has dramatically pointed. The Israeli air strikes on nuclear systems and military facilities in Iran are ongoing. According to the Australian military expert Mick Ryan, these attacks are effective, but it will take some time for the nuclear and ballistic skills of Iran to be substantially weakened. Ryan warns that the risk of an expansion of the conflict is great and that Iran could mobilize allies in the coming days to expand his influence on Israel and Israeli interests worldwide. In particular, the Huthi-Miliz from Yemen could interfere in this conflict and become active, which would further heat the situation, such as [LKZ] (https://www.lkz.de/%C3%BCberregionales_Artikel ,-experte-vwidung-des-bags-nahost-_arid.830519.html) reported.

In a current video message, a Huthi member confirmed that the goal in Israel was attacked with a drone. In addition, two US destroyers in the Red Sea were attacked with rockets and drones. The Israeli army reported that a drone was intercepted on its border. Signs indicate that the Huthi-Miliz has increasingly conducted attacks on ships in the Red Sea since the beginning of the Gaza war and on destinations in Israel, as [Deutschlandfunk] (https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/huthi-miliz-miliz-s-s- Israelische-Milita-and-us-war-shipe-102.html). It should also be noted that a US military campaign has been running in Yemen since March to counteract these aggressive activities.

the axis of the resistance

Iran, which has been expanding its influence in the Middle East, supports numerous militant-oriented groups, including Hamas, Hisbollah and the Huthi militia. The violent clashes increase in intensity after Hamas leader Ismail Hanija was murdered in Tehran. The Huthi leader Abdul-Malik Badreddin Al-Huthi then announced a possible major attack by Iran and its allies on Israel. This so-called "axis of resistance" has developed into a central element of the regional conflicts, which daily news. The aim of these groups is to combine their common enemy and enforce their regional ambitions.

Although Iran is seen as a central string puller of this movement, reality is more complex. Many of the groups act independently and pursue their own agendas, which also makes the dynamics of these conflicts even more difficult. The influence of Iran and the strategic partnerships that maintain these groups vary greatly and are based on the respective political conditions on site.
