About this episode
In this episode of All Things Policy, Aishwaria Sonavane speaks to Raja Karthikeya about the origins of the Saudi-Houthi conflict, the evolution of the Houthis' military capabilities, and why Saudi Arabia’s considerable military and financial resources have not translated into an easy victory. They examine the strategic significance of the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb, Washington’s reluctance to enter another regional conflict, the options available to Riyadh, and what the Mecca Pact could mean for the conflict. Tune in for a deep dive into the conflict in just 30 minutes.
