By failing to respond, the Biden administration is pushing allies into the hands of Russia and China, writes TomRTweets. 'Biden should reconsider whether his appeasement of Iran and its partners is as valuable to U.S. interests as he appears to believe.'
A Houthi spokesman took credit for the drone attack on Jeddah, which the spokesman accurately described as"deep" inside Saudi territory. Saudi officials say, and online video indicates, that two Aramco oil storage tanks were damaged in the strike. Evincing the Sunni kingdom's concern about not appearing vulnerable, Saudi state media were reticent to admit an attack had taken place until it was undeniable.
The scale of Iran's challenge to America's Sunni Arab allies is now undeniable. Jeddah is 400 miles from the Yemeni border, so even if Saudi air defense were able to shoot down numerous other Houthi drones, this attack testifies to Saudi Arabia's deep vulnerability. This is not an easy pill for the crown prince to swallow, obsessed as he is with the presentation of confident authority and the marginalization of Iranian power.
By failing to respond to these attacks, the Biden administration is pushing these allies into the hands of Russia and China. The reliability of an ally matters greatly in the Middle East, where international political influence is defined as much by the perception of power as by reality. Biden's strategy, conciliation with Iran at seemingly any cost, has already led Crown Prince Mohammed to refuse to assist the president in reducing oil prices.
