US Deploys B-2 Spirit Stealth Bombers to Diego Garcia in Indian Ocean. The U.S. is having Trouble defeating the Houthis?
The ongoing news about leaked text messages is merely a distraction from the failed operation in Yemen, where Ansarallah continues to maintain control over the Red Sea. Ansarallah keeps targeting Israeli vessels, and U.S. strikes on the Houthis have been largely ineffective. The Houthis have their missiles buried deep underground, making them hard to locate and even harder to penetrate.
Some armchair military analysts from the sidelines are saying, "We have the $30 million GBU-57 MOP, we could do what Israel did in Lebanon." However, it’s evident that if the U.S. had the means to neutralize the Houthis, they would have done so by now. The Houthis have already successfully targeted U.S. warships, and we've seen the proof in videos.
In addition to deploying 7 B-2 bombers to the joint U.S.-UK base in Diego Garcia, the U.S. has repositioned the USS Carl Vinson from Japan to join the USS Harry Truman in the Red Sea. Some analysts speculate that this new deployment may indicate that the USS Harry Truman was directly struck by the Houthis and possibly damaged.
Others believe the U.S. is preparing for an all-out assault on Iran, potentially yielding to Netanyahu's long-standing desires. Back in 2013, Netanyahu urged President Obama to strike Iran, claiming that Iran was just weeks away from developing a nuclear bomb. Obama rejected this call and instead signed the JCPOA with Iran in 2014. In response, Netanyahu addressed the U.S. Congress in 2015, urging lawmakers to oppose the deal. On May 8, 2018, President Trump announced the U.S. withdrawal from the JCPOA, and Netanyahu recently praised Trump for his decision, which seemed to elicit a narcissistic, megalomaniacal grin from Trump.
