Q&A - Airstrikes on Yemen and the Future of the Middle East

On Friday, January 12th, the Houthis added their muscle to the
spreading conflict in the Middle East. By attacking commercial
shipping lanes in the Red Sea, they have brought reprisal strikes
from a US and UK led coalition which could bring the west into the
war and even reignite the Yemeni civil war which has engulfed the
country since 2014. We covered Yemen extensively over 5 episodes at
the end of Conflicted season 4, so it was only right that Thomas
and Aimen come back together to answer our dear listeners’
questions about this huge new development.  We answer your
questions like: What are the Houthis’ objectives in the Middle
East? Was the Western military response the right move? How will
Iran and its proxies respond in turn? And what does this all mean
for the future of the war in Israel, Gaza and the wider Middle
East. This episode is also a taster of the kind of content you’ll
get as we launch a new platform - the Conflicted Community. This
will be your community hub on Discord for all things Conflicted.
Discord is essentially an instant messaging community platform
which will allow you to discuss all things Conflicted with fellow
dear listeners, share resources we mention in the show and engage
in riveting post-episode debates.  This is a paid for
community, and for a small monthly fee you’ll get access to the
Discord chat channels, the opportunity to chat with Thomas and
Aimen, exclusive content and bonus episodes like this one, as well
as ad-free listening. Please do register your interest through the
link: www.levellr.com/conflicted  We’ll be launching the
Conflicted Community very soon, so keep an eye out for further
details on it once you have registered interest. Find us on
