in recent years, the situation in the middle east has been turbulent and conflicts have occurred frequently. in particular, the impact of the palestinian-israeli conflict on maritime security has become increasingly obvious. this article will extend the palestinian-israeli conflict to the gulf of aden and the red sea, exploring its impact on international relations and the peace process, as well as how the tension between the two sides has evolved.
the complex situation of "naval war"
since the outbreak of the israeli-palestinian conflict, tensions in the middle east have continued to escalate, also affecting the security of the gulf of aden and the red sea. with the frequent missile and drone attacks in yemen, the red sea shipping routes have encountered new challenges, and the safety of ships of israel and its western allies has been threatened. faced with this dilemma, the united states and the united kingdom quickly formed an escort alliance to ensure the safety of maritime transportation in the red sea and the gulf of aden. however, the intervention of the us-european joint fleet did not calm the situation, but made the maritime security dilemma more prominent.
the israeli navy and air force's attack on iranian oil tankers shows israel's deep understanding of the close relationship between the houthis and iran. as tehran's military proxy in the red sea and the gulf of aden, the houthis' actions are undoubtedly directed and supported by iran. israel's counterattack was swift and fierce, and several iranian oil tankers were attacked, but iran did not sit idly by.
internal analysis:
the statement made by major general salami of the iranian revolutionary guards revealed the fierce confrontation between the two sides in the maritime contest. behind the war of mutual attacks on ships, there is a deeper geopolitical game.
the confrontation between israel and iran is not just a grudge between the two countries, but also a reflection of the balance of power and conflict of interests in the middle east. the intervention of the houthi armed forces in yemen has added a new variable to the conflict. the tension in the gulf of aden and the red sea is actually an extension of the israeli-palestinian conflict in the maritime field. as long as the israeli-palestinian conflict is not fundamentally resolved, the maritime war will be difficult to quell.
challenges on the path to peace
to break this deadlock, we need to start from the source and promote peaceful coexistence between palestine and israel. however, the peace process is full of challenges. the entanglement and intensification of the interests of all parties make the peace process full of uncertainty and risks. the maritime competition between israel and iran has undoubtedly added more uncertainty and risks to this process.
