Summary

Houthi insurgents in Yemen have seized the Red Sea shore of the nation and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, conducting drone strikes within Saudi Arabia and targeting Saudi vessels. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sought assistance from U.S. President Trump, who declined to conduct American airstrikes but pledged to provide intelligence and additional aid. These developments were analyzed on The Big Story podcast by Peter Bates, a former Canadian Foreign Service Officer and Fellow at the Canadian Global Affairs Institute.
