PNN – The Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank, in an analysis, pointed out the failure of the Donald Trump administration to effectively confront Yemen’s Ansarullah movement: The Trump administration faces serious internal disagreements regarding Yemen and, more importantly, Iran, and this is one of the factors preventing America from winning in Yemen.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network from this American think tank: The team of US President Donald Trump is deeply divided and divided on how to deal with the Iranian nuclear issue. On one side is the camp of Vice President J. D. Vance, who has taken a more conservative stance on Middle East engagements, even those with Israel against Iran that could draw the United States into conflict, and on the other is the camp of Defense Secretary Pete Hegsett, whose more belligerent views on Yemen more closely mirror those of Trump.
This analysis goes on to further explain the positions of the two aforementioned parties: Vance and his supporters in the administration are more inclined to see the United States do less and let Washington’s allies do more, to the extent that it does not force the United States to intervene militarily, but the position of Hegsett and his supporters reflects a desire to expand US power in the Middle East to protect Israel.

The author of this analysis added that the Middle East is an exception, and in other areas of foreign policy, Trump’s reluctance to protect traditional allies and avoid “permanent wars” is more in line with his vice president’s inclinations.
Part of the article states: Vance’s hostility to Europeans, who he believes have so far taken advantage of the United States for free, reflects the right’s widespread sensitivity to America’s dangerous commitments in the Middle East. These isolationists oppose the US bombing of Yemen because they believe that the Suez Canal trade routes, which are permanently under the control of Yemeni forces, are apparently more in Europe’s interest than the US’s, and therefore the US should not play the role of police for their benefit.
This analysis concludes by once again referring to the internal differences within the Trump administration on the issue of Iran and Yemen, emphasizing that Trump, Hegsett, and their associates in the administration think that bombing Yemen will cause Tehran to view Washington as a tough barrier during the Trump era, and this could force the Iranians to enter into nuclear negotiations, while Vance does not endorse such a position at all. The US Vice President believes that Washington should not even go to war with Tehran over an important issue like nuclear weapons, let alone the actions of the Yemenis in the Suez Canal.
