The confrontation between the United States and Iran has been going on for a long time. In order to carry out armed deterrence missions against Iran, the United States has always deployed the Nimitz aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf region. The USS aircraft carrier left the Persian Gulf and went north to participate in the Malabar joint military exercise. This is undoubtedly good news for Iran, which means that Iran’s pressure in the Strait of Hormuz will significantly decrease. In the past, Iran could only rely on anti-ship missiles to deter the US military. Now, with the departure of the aircraft carrier, Iran has finally lost its shackles and can "show its talents," and their surface ships and frogman troops can also come in handy.
Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities were destroyed by militants and the Persian Gulf was not at peace.
After the US aircraft carrier left, the Persian Gulf was not at peace. Earlier, Saudi Arabia announced that two bomb speedboats belonging to Houthi militants in Yemen were destroyed near Jizan in southwestern Saudi Arabia. Obviously, the reason why Houthi militants in Yemen sent these two bomb speedboats was to destroy The oil facilities in this area, after all, were destroyed near an oil product distribution station in Jizan in southwestern Saudi Arabia. Once the speedboat is destroyed, the nearby oil facilities are likely to be destroyed. The militants hope to take this opportunity to attack Saudi Arabia. The economy has caused a heavy blow.
Saudi Arabia is a famous oil country. Its economic development depends on oil. However, this economic structure is single and has great weaknesses. If oil facilities are destroyed, the country's economy will be in trouble. Last year, the Yemeni Houthis attacked Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities, which destroyed Saudi Arabia’s second largest oil refinery and other oil facilities. The destruction of these facilities caused severe damage to the Saudi economy, and oil exports fell by 51%. The Yemeni Houthi militants also saw the weaknesses of Saudi Arabia. They began to specifically target Saudi oil facilities and continued to attack them. However, the US military was still in the Persian Gulf at the time, so the backstage of Yemen’s Houthi militants-Iran could not do anything. It provides a large amount of weapons and equipment, and can only provide assistance to militants through smuggling in private.
For example, the cruise missiles and suicide drones used by militants in previous attacks on Saudi oil facilities are all provided by Iran. Once these weapons hit the target, they are bound to inflict heavy costs on the other side.
The US aircraft carrier headed north, and Iran "shows its talents"
Now that the US aircraft carrier has left, the Iranian Navy can also "let go of its hands and feet" and blatantly do some domineering things in the Persian Gulf. For example, to provide more weapons and equipment to the Houthi militants in Yemen. The bomb speedboat used before was provided by Iran. The cost of this weapon is relatively cheap and it is also a good choice for militants.
In order to participate in military exercises, the USS Nimitz brought multiple cruisers and destroyers to form an aircraft carrier battle group. It is currently still in South Arabia and cannot escape temporarily. Therefore, in the future, Iran will be able to" Show their talents", it is likely to continue to provide weapons and equipment to the Houthi militants in Yemen. Iran’s purpose is obvious. It uses weapon support to help militants strike against Saudi Arabia. This is a good opportunity for Iran. After all, this method can make it suffer a great blow without having to face Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is very angry with Iran's behavior, saying that Iran has caused a major disaster this time, and its behavior not only affects Saudi Arabia, but also affects the safety of oil exports and the stability of world energy supply. In addition, Saudi Arabia also hopes that the United States can launch military operations against Iran, and, most importantly, if a war breaks out between the United States and Iran, then Trump can still use the war as an excuse to stay in office.
