Iran’s proxy group the Houthis have launched fresh missile
attacks on Yemeni ports in the Red Sea as their conflict with
Saudi Arabia heats up. A new war in the Arabian Peninsula is now
inevitable, according to former Yemeni diplomat Mahmoud Shehrah.

On today’s episode of Iran: The Latest, Roland Oliphant talks to
Chatham House’s Shehrah to unpack the Houthis' intentions and to
what extent they are acting on Tehran’s orders. Could they close
the Bab al-Mendab strait and what can the West do about it?

Plus, news of an Iranian assassination plot against Donald Trump
that forced him to hide in an airplane catering trolley, and why
the US president is now demanding war reparations from Iran to
resolve their dispute over the Strait of Hormuz.
