The war in the Middle East is a proxy war, with Houthi rebels leading the rise in prices, and Korean semiconductors ‘intensively’

In the outbreak of the Middle East war, Iran and the United States are careful to avoid direct military contact between the United States, Israel, and Iran on both sides, so the Houthi rebels' attacks are driving a proxy war, leading to an increase in international commerce prices, according to the New York Times. reported on the 14th.
More than 100 days after the start of the Israeli-Hamas conflict, most key countries have expressed interest in further eruptions while Iran is pressuring its proxies to embarrass US troops and pressure Israel and the West in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and the Red Sea shipping lanes. A military assessment has been made that some effort is being made to prevent this from happening.
The NYT revealed on the 2nd that in killing a Hamas leader, Israel carried out a very precise attack in direct contrast to its operation in the Gaza Strip to avoid harming nearby Hezbollah fighters during the attack on the outskirts of Beirut.
In evidence of U.S. efforts to deter the war, attacks by Houthis in Yemen led to the withdrawal of launch facilities, radars and weapons storage, while the United States deliberately avoided targeting Houthi leaders behind attacks on ships in the Red Sea, striking at night after sending a clear cable. NYT said that it did.
In their attack on the Red Sea, an important trade route, the Houthi rebels, supported by Iran, damaged a US-owned steel merchant ship that departed from Korea on the 15th, unlike an attack on a US warship.
U.S. intelligence officials say Iran is seeking ways to attack Israel and the United States without starting war while encouraging Houthi rebels' operations in the Red Sea. U.S. officials say the Houthis are an independent group and that Iran is not directing their daily operations. “I judge,” the NYT said.
U.S. intelligence officials believe that Iran's support for the actions of the Houthi rebels is part of a strategy by Iranian officials that an escalation of the conflict would increase costs to the West, adding that over the past four years, Iran has strengthened and rapidly improved its proxy forces, providing a new generation of weapons and weapons. It said it had provided the ability to assemble its own weapons, provided more training and that of all the proxy forces, it was the Houthis who felt more freedom of action from Iranian surveillance.
The recent intensification of attacks by the Houthi rebels, which do not have deep roots in Tehran like Hezbollah and have enormous capabilities to disrupt global commerce, have already caused temporary parts shortages for Tesla and Volvo and led to a rise in international energy prices.
Robert Gallucci, former U.S. State Department special envoy for North Korean nuclear weapons, said, “We must keep in mind the fact that there is a possibility of a nuclear war in Northeast Asia in 2024.” “There is a risk of war,” he said.
He, who created the North Korean nuclear agreement under the Clinton administration in 1994, said, “The United States should focus on normalizing relations with North Korea rather than denuclearizing North Korea.” “It can prevent intervention in the situation,” he said in an article on the 11th in the diplomatic magazine ‘National Interest’ on ‘Proxy War to Prevent Korea’s Intervention in Taiwan’.
Minister of National Defense Shin Won-sik responded to the claim of a ‘war crisis on the Korean Peninsula’ in an interview with KBS on the 16th, saying, “Looking at the recent situation in North Korea, there is a very high possibility that they will attempt a local provocation, if not an all-out war. He predicted a ‘local war’ by saying, “There will be direct military provocations against our country, large-scale hacking, cyber psychological warfare, and gray area provocations.”
President Yoon Seok-yeol announced on the 15th that Japan will invest 622 trillion won to build a 'semiconductor mega cluster' that will concentrate all high-tech semiconductors around Samsung in Yongin, unlike the three regions where advanced semiconductors are dispersed (Hokkaido Lipidus, Hiroshima Micron, and Kumamoto TSMC).
In China's analysis of Taiwan, Bloomberg Economics announced on the 9th that Taiwan's GDP decreased by 40%, Korea's GDP by 23%, and Japan's GDP by 13.5% in the first year of the war due to 'surge in semiconductor damage'.
In cutting-edge semiconductor and cutting-edge electronic products, Bloomberg estimates that China's blockade of Taiwan would result in a 60% decline in production, and if China invades Taiwan, Korea's production would decline by 85%.
Taiwan's high-tech semiconductor plant is TSMC's diversified overseas production system with a regional distribution system in Hsinchu, Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung.
