Why did the US naval coalition fail?

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: In an important development, France, Spain and Italy officially canceled their participation in the US-led naval coalition in the Red Sea known as "Welfare Guard" and stopped handing over their warships to the command The United States refused. The three European countries emphasized that they will only carry out additional naval operations under the command of the United Nations, NATO or the European Union, not the United States. Previously, US President Joe Biden was warned that "no one will take his naval operations seriously." With the withdrawal of three European countries, including France, Italy and Spain, the bell has been sounded for the collapse of the American naval alliance.

Meanwhile, the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) had previously announced that the number of countries that have joined this naval coalition has increased to 20 countries, but did not name these countries. Of course, Australia also previously requested the US to send a ship. He had rejected a war in the Red Sea in order to join a naval coalition with the presence of several countries under the pretext of protecting shipping lines.

  During the past weeks, the Yemeni army has targeted several ships of the Zionist regime in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab strait in support of the resistance of the Palestinian nation in the Gaza Strip. that its encroachments on Gaza and its crimes against the Palestinian people will be stopped. The Zionist regime, which is unable to secure its ships, reached out to America to solve this problem; But the formation of a new naval coalition led by the United States did not work either. Mohammad Ali al-Houthi, a member of Yemen's Supreme Political Council, said on Thursday night: "The goal of the naval coalition that was announced is to protect Israel and not international shipping. He emphasized that his country will respond to any American attack."

Yemeni attacks on commercial ships that move towards the occupied Palestine or are related to the Zionist regime, in addition to causing serious damage to Israel, more than 90% of their foreign trade depends on the sea, at the same time the costs of maritime trade in the world (especially for the western powers) has also increased significantly. In particular, the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait are waterways that carry 30% of the world's trade and container traffic.

The successful operation of the Yemeni army in order to defend the people of Gaza has caused large shipping companies to travel 25 thousand kilometers to Asian markets and move their goods by passing through Cape Omidnik. This has caused pressure on the companies and the government. has been sent to America in order to force the Zionist regime to lift the blockade of Gaza. Majid Saftaj, an expert on Palestine and West Asia, says: After the Zionist invasion of Gaza, Yemen's Ansarullah has practically used this strait and bottleneck as a lever of pressure against the Zionist regime and its supporter, the United States. Therefore, this initiative has caused more than 50% of shipping companies to change their destination or to stop any kind of cargo transportation for Israel for the time being, and this issue is harmful for the Zionists.

Now, with the announcement of the withdrawal of three important European countries from the American naval alliance in the Red Sea, the implementation of the goals of this alliance, especially to counter Yemen's missile and drone attacks against the Zionist regime and ships destined for occupied Palestine, has become more difficult. In addition, intercepting Yemeni drones that cost only 2 thousand dollars with 2 million dollars missiles will be very expensive. The "Paltico" website wrote that the US Department of Defense is concerned about the increasing and exorbitant cost of intercepting and shooting down drones and missiles fired by the Yemeni army. Politico, while pointing to 38 interceptions by US Navy ships, wrote: "One missile costs 2 million A dollar is used to intercept the 2,000 dollar Yemeni drone.

At the same time, the announcement of the withdrawal of three NATO member European countries from the US naval alliance shows their distrust in Washington and at the same time a kind of protest against the US's pursuit of Israel with its unquestioning support for the continuation of the bloody war in Gaza and opposition to the fire. It is enough that its consequences, especially the Yemeni attacks in the Red Sea, have caused significant losses to Western trade and shipping. Referring to America's isolation, Barbara Bodin, a former American diplomat and current director of the Diplomatic Studies Institute at Georgetown University, says: "For many of Washington's allies, the current actions of the United States in support of Israel are in conflict with our standing by Ukraine."
