U.S. Special Forces Arrive in Middle East Amid Ongoing Conflict

The conflict between the United States and Iran has persisted for over a month, with reports indicating that hundreds of U.S. special forces soldiers have arrived in the Middle East to provide more options for military action against Iran. According to RTHK, the Pentagon is preparing for several weeks of ground operations in Iran. In a related development, Yemen's Houthi forces recently launched missiles into Israeli territory, marking their first attack since the conflict began. Reports suggest that Israel interprets this as an intention to join the war. There is concern that if the conflict spreads from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, it could impact international energy routes and further affect the global economy.
