  3. Iran: The Latest Podcast
  4. Houthi blitz threatens Suez Canal as Saudi Arabia turns to UK for help
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis and Saudi Arabia have exchanged
further strikes, amid signs that Tehran is ramping up the war
against Riyadh to compensate for a stalemate in the Strait of
Hormuz. 

On today’s episode of Iran: The Latest, Venetia Rainey speaks
with Arabist and Yemen expert Dr. Elisabeth Kendall (mistress of
Girton College) to explain why the Houthis and Iraqi militias are
part of a new Iranian Axis of Resistance. They also discuss how
Saudi leader Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) is facing an existential
crisis following devastating pipeline attacks and escalating
violence, with missile alerts sounding as far as Jeddah.
Following Donald Trump’s refusal to help, Saudi Arabia has called
on the UK and Egypt while Iran turns to China. Who will step in?

Plus, how Iran helped the Houthis to evolve into a formidable
fighting force and the US pushes back against the IRGC’s fake
news about sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

Podcast-Folgen verschwinden. Feeds werden auf die letzten Episoden gekürzt, Hoster räumen alte Dateien ab, Formate wechseln den Anbieter und lassen ihr Archiv zurück. Mit „Mein Archiv“ sichert podcast.de die Folgen deiner Podcasts für dich — angefangen bei den ältesten, denn die sind zuerst weg.

  • Deine gesicherten Folgen bleiben hörbar, auch wenn das Original offline geht.
  • Auch Folgen, die im heutigen Feed gar nicht mehr stehen — podcast.de kennt sie noch.
  • Herunterladen bleibt möglich, solange die Folge beim Podcaster liegt. Der zählt seine Abrufe wie bisher.
