Episode Details

Houthi rebels in Yemen just declared a maritime embargo on Saudi Arabia, calling it direct retaliation for Riyadh’s blockade of Houthi-held ports and airports — a move that could shake up global shipping and deepen regional tensions. This isn’t new: just last week, missile strikes hit Saudi airports, which the Houthis blamed on Saudi air raids. The war, now in its 12th year, has created a devastating humanitarian crisis, with millions in need. The Houthis say Saudi Arabia’s siege is “unjust and oppressive,” and warn any further aggression will be met with a “decisive response.” With the Red Sea a vital oil corridor, even the threat of attacks on vessels could disrupt global trade — and the Houthis, who previously paused strikes to show solidarity with Palestinians, are now back with a warning that could ripple through the shipping world.
