TEHRAN (Defapress) - Yesterday morning, Zionist media reported the departure of three B-2 bombers from the U.S. Air Force base "Diego Garcia" in the Indian Ocean. The news quickly resonated across regional and international media, drawing sighs and lamentations from the leaders and officials of the Zionist regime.

What departed the 3 American B-2 bombers from the U.S. Air Force base "Diego Garcia" so significant was the initial intention behind the U.S. bringing these strategic bombers to this remote island in the Pacific Ocean. That intention was none other than to support the Zionist regime against Yemen’s missile and drone operations and attacks.

Another point is that from the very first moments of the news breaking about the departure of the three American B-2 bombers from the Diego Garcia Air Force base, it carried with it the disappointment and concern of the leaders and officials of the Zionist regime regarding U.S. support for Tel Aviv in the war with Yemen. Accordingly, Zionist media, particularly the newspaper Maariv, covered and reflected this event with complete disappointment.

Now, in this context, Ben Caspit, a Zionist writer, wrote in Maariv: "Israel had the opportunity to set the entire Middle East ablaze, but Netanyahu is hesitant." This clearly shows that the leaders and officials of the Zionist regime had pinned all their hopes and desires on the outcome of the U.S. military deployment in the region, expecting it to enhance the security and survival of this illegitimate occupying regime.

Of course, this Zionist writer also noted in another part of his report that Donald Trump, the U.S. president, is "tired of everything" and indicated that the U.S. president is recalling part of the American forces back home. This will undoubtedly bring disappointment and frustration to the Zionist regime regarding the U.S., further widening the gap between Tel Aviv and Washington.

On the other hand, if we consider that Diego Garcia has been the U.S.'s primary military base since the 1970s, we realize that the Zionist regime had placed special reliance on this base to receive U.S. support and backing in critical and sensitive situations, such as Yemeni operations and attacks.

But now that the U.S. has unexpectedly announced it will stop bombing Yemen and has also proceeded to withdraw three B-2 bombers from the Diego Garcia Air Force base in the Pacific Ocean, we are witnessing the deep disappointment and intense frustration of the leaders and officials of the Zionist regime with their traditional and long-standing ally.

An important aspect regarding the departure of the three American B-2 bombers from the Diego Garcia Air Force base is that this event can be seen as a sign of a shift in the U.S. approach and Washington’s military strategy toward Yemen.

In fact, it can be interpreted that the withdrawal of the American B-2 bombers from Diego Garcia is a very clear indication that the U.S. has seriously placed the policy of reducing tensions and conflict with Yemen on its agenda. Accordingly, it is predicted that we will no longer witness American airstrikes and warplanes over Yemen or the bombing of the country by the United States.

In the end, in the saga of the B-2 bombers' departure from the Diego Garcia Air Force base, the main loser is undoubtedly the Zionist regime. Because, at least in this situation, it has lost U.S. support on the one hand and finds itself alone against Yemeni operations and attacks on the other.
