"The attacks on shipping in the Red Sea is a test for the US’ Indo-Pacific strategy to deal with China In a House Armed Services Committee hearing in March 2023 on the US posture and security challenges in the Middle East and Africa, it was acknowledged that “…President Biden’s decision to unilaterally and unconditionally withdraw all US forces from Afghanistan has undermined our national security.” The developments of the past few weeks in the Red Sea have made this assertion seem prophetic. Yemen’s Houthi rebels have strategically positioned themselves to exploit less monitored zones in the Red Sea and the broader Arabian Sea. With numerous naval vessels navigating this critical route linking the Mediterranean and the Arabian Sea, countering the Houthi rebels and their assaults on global shipping has become exceedingly challenging for the US.

From the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Israeli calls to crush Hamas have escalated, joined by major Western powers calling for the end of Hamas’ rule in Gaza Strip (GS) and its exclusion from the Palestinian decision-making circle. This has coincided with a global campaign vilifying Hamas, accusing it of terrorism, and seeing it as an obstacle to achieving peace and stability in the Middle East. Arab and regional forces have also actively worked against Hamas, affecting their external relations and its security and developmental strategies. Arab leaders and officials have openly discussed this in closed rooms with Western leaders or with figures who later revealed it in the media, such as Dennis Ross and Thomas Friedman.

"“Mr. Secretary, it's good to welcome you and your delegation again. We're fighting a war of civilization against barbarism. I can say that when we spoke, I expressed again our commitment, Israel's commitment, to achieve total victory against Hamas. And we think this is not only our war but in many ways your war because you are leading the forces of civilization in the world. This is a battle against the Iranian axis, the Iranian axis of terror, which is now threatening to close the maritime strait of Bab el-Mandeb. This threatens the freedom of navigation of the entire world. I appreciate the fact that you're taking action to open that strait. It's not only our interest, it is the interest I think of the entire civilized community. I want to thank you for the support that you have shown consistently, and I welcome the opportunity to talk about what else we're doing to have our common interests served.""

Don't miss a fiery discussion by The Washington Outsider #Report on Coalition Radio with Stephen Bryen, who is currently a Senior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy but also has extensive background and experience both in the USG #export-#import control and in private practice on #defense issues. We discuss the latest innovations in advanced tracking #technology available to #Houtis and facilitating their targeting of commercial vessels in the Red Sea and beyond, the details of #Iran's practical assistance, why the various US-UK airstrikes have not put an end to the #Houthi attacks, why this latest escalation is merely using #Israel-#Gaza war as an excuse, why Tehran feels safe enough to expand its reach into Indian Ocean and other areas, why many of the European allies, including in particular #Italy's #Meloni, and #SPain, have been such a disappointment on the #defense side, who should be managing the crisis in the USG and why the policy on the exports of technology to #Iran and #Houthis has been so weak, how the #Houthis are able to get services from US #satellite companies, and what US could and should be doing instead to securitize critical areas. #terrorism #counterterrorism #middleeast #arabworld #thegulf #GCC #KSA #SaudiArabia #UAE #UnitedArabEmirates #extremism #counterextremism #Yemen #Lebanon #Hizbullah #Maritimesecurity #France #EU #Europe #EuropeanUnion #hitech #satellites #communications #Hybridwarfare #Pirates #Somalia #India #Pakistan #southeastasia #military #security #defense #sanctions #Biden #foreignpolicy #foreignaffairs #diplomacy #geopolitics #oilandgas #oilandgasindustry #energy #economy #energysecurity #energycrisis #Japan

Great read on the White House's strategic efforts to declassify intelligence information to dispel disinformation, reduce overclassification, and improve public trust. What I hope is up next, and what my Center for Truth, Trust, and Transparency (Tr3) at National Intelligence University is pushing for, is an Intelligence Community-wide strategy for engaging the American public. https://lnkd.in/eeV_gk26

This type of excellent strategic socio-politico-economic evaluation is absent from our Western MSM, an omission that I regard as reprehensible. What is your view? https://lnkd.in/egiNdJkv

Just in time for the ongoing spike in the ever-expanding #MiddleEast crisis, The Washington Outsider #Report on Coalition Radio sits down with the noted author of thrilling history works and noted reporter @Matti Friedman to discuss #Israel's encirclement by the Axis of Resistance and whether #IDF is fighting the right war by confronting with #Hamas in #Gaza rather than focusing on the arguably more serious threat by #Hizbullah in the North or taking on #Iran directly. We discuss a range of dilemmas and open questions including: * Is #Israel slow-rolling the confrontation with Tehran and the Axis of Resistance due to US #Elections2024 * Was it a mistake to engage in #Gaza? Was #Hizbullah the real enemy #Israel should have been confronting? * Is #Israel capable of fighting on multiple fronts simultaneously? * Is #Iran's strategy of encirclement a success, or is bound to be a success? * Why is #IDF short on supplies and even basic necessities? * Is #Israel able to confront #Iran independently without US support? * Does #Israel have any additional options besides being dragged into "forever wars" with #Iran's regional #proxies or risk losing US supplies in attacking #Iran? * Why did #Israel not start with the #Rafah operation in #Gaza and why did it take so long to enter the area and to secure the borders from #Hamas infiltration? * Can the Israeli government identify the priority threats effectively and be counted on to take the decisive steps to resolve these issues in the current scenario? * If there are no good options, what can we expect next? .. and much more! #terrorism #counterterrorsim #MiddleEast #ArabWorld #Levant #Lebanon #Syria #Iraq #extremism #counterextremism #military #security #defense #corruption #foreignpolicy #foreignaffairs #diplomacy #geopolitics
