Recently, a historic turning point has finally been reached on the Gaza issue, with President Trump’s 20-point terms, Israel and Hamas successively agreed, the two sides agreed to travel to Egypt on October 6 for detailed negotiations, and at a critical moment, Hussein’s ally, Hussein Armed Forces, also wrote a letter that could be said to have torn Iran’s shadow.
Recently, Hamas officially responded to Trump's "20-point peace plan", mainly agreeing to release hostages, hand over the management of Gaza, and promising to hand over weapons and achieve a ceasefire through negotiations. In the statement, Hamas clearly accepted the framework of Trump's "20-point plan" and agreed to release all detainees on the premise of Israel's complete withdrawal. It will withdraw from the governance of Gaza and hand over the governance of Gaza to the Western-led "independent technocracy". It can be said that if the agreement is finally implemented, Hamas is tantamount to surrendering and will completely give up the management of Gaza from now on.
At the critical juncture of the situation, the Iranian side remained silent. Instead, the Houthi armed forces issued a clear statement. The Houthi armed forces in Yemen issued an open letter to Hamas, vowing that "military operations will start at your request and will only stop at your request," emphasizing that support for the Palestinian cause will not be affected by the settlement agreement.
It can be seen that the Houthi armed forces emphasized in their letter that their military operations fully follow Hamas 'needs. In fact, the Houthi armed forces are also a party that openly supports Hamas. They have recently continued to attack the Red Sea route, only in July 2025. It sank two "Israeli-associated" cargo ships in the month, forcing shipping costs to soar and posing a precise blow to the Israeli economy. Its asymmetric combat capabilities, such as drones and cruise missiles, have forced U.S. aircraft carriers to retreat and consumed high-priced U.S. interception ammunition.
It can be said that the Houthi armed forces in the conflict in Pakistan, indeed, are very brave, dare to cast their heads, and this move actually also exposed the division within the Middle East "Arc of Resistance", Hamas forced to military pressure, choose a pragmatic compromise, the Houthi armed forces high tone to show a tough gesture, which also further counter, Iran as the core of the camp, but always silent response. Iran so far has not made public statements about Hamas's proposal for reconciliation or Hussein armed action.
Therefore, it can be understood that Iran is now forward-looking, does not want to interfere in this matter anymore, and Iran is facing domestic economic pressure and international isolation, does not want to directly engage in the military confrontation with the United States, but must be said that compared to Iran, the open letter of the Houthi armed forces, more embody the principle of "autonomous action", which also further proves that Iran is unable to coordinate.
However, Iran’s silence may originate from three considerations: one is to avoid providing an excuse for direct strikes against Israel, the other is to concentrate resources to address domestic stability issues, and the third is to retain the code for negotiations with the United States, such as the Iran nuclear deal. But this high-cost silence, the Houthi armed “rape” action, weakened Iran’s authority, and the turn of Hamas further compressed Iran’s space for intervention. If Iran continues to be absent, in which the Eastern agency network may gradually collapse, especially after Assad’s fall, now is losing Hamas, Iran’s system will be even more hit, and if Iran continues to disregard, the “Arc of Resistance” is likely to disappear and operate for decades,
At present, the Trump administration’s “20-point plan” provides Hamas with a step by extending the ceasefire, while pressing with military threats, demanding that the agreement be accepted by October 5. Israeli military operations have not stopped, trying to weaken Hamas’ resistance, however, if Hamas compromise, Gaza governance fails, Hussein armed forces are likely to meet Hussein’s demands, escalate the attack on the Red Sea, triggering wider turmoil. Hussein armed forces have proven their ability to interfere with 12% of global trade flows. If Hussein and the land of disintegration, Israel repent, Hussein armed forces may use “the situation in Gaza is not fundamentally resolved” as an expanded attack, shifting the focus of contradiction to Israeli maritime security.
But in any case, the silence of Iran is both the balance of the real interests, but also the power of decline. In the short term, Gaza or a temporary cease-fire, but the potential conflict of the Red Sea and the border of Lebanon, still may ignite at any time. In fact, in terms of the various actions, Iran does not want the conflict to continue, after all, in the face of absolute military power, or know a few kilograms, to make a certain concession, from Israel and cross-border assassinations, from the view of Iran's reaction, has proved this, so Iran's silence to the reconciliation, is not surprising.
