Episode Details

Saudi Arabia faces its most serious oil threat since its founding as Iran-backed Houthis strike near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, forcing pipeline shutdowns and drone interceptions. Experts point to Tehran’s strategy of disrupting global oil flows by targeting Saudi infrastructure. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has appealed to Trump for U.S. military action, but Washington is hesitant, offering only advisory support instead. The Houthis claim their attacks target only Saudi vessels — a stance that leaves the U.S. caught between regional security and avoiding direct conflict over a waterway not directly threatening American interests.
