The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
The US and its allies are right to respond to Houthi militants attacking Western ships and undermining security in the region. The Biden administration is sending a strong message that Iran-backed proxies cannot indiscriminately attack American and other cargo ships with impunity. While rebel groups may not have the strongest military prowess, they cannot be overlooked, and resisting handling militant groups like the Houthis only emboldens Iran to push conflict further. Western allies need to send a clear message that they will not be pushed over in the Middle East.
Establishment-critical narrative
The US and UK are blazing full-speed ahead towards a regional war in the Middle East. Ever since Israel began its brutal campaign in Gaza, Western forces, led by their imperial leader in Washington, have continued to meddle in the area and promote another destructive war. Besides supporting Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, Washington is looking to bring Iran into the conflict, furthering instability and chaos. The war machine is yearning for another decades-long war, and the air strikes in Yemen are just part of a broader plan to continue US entanglement in the Middle East.
