What’s Really Behind the Houthi Red Sea Attacks

Tug of War

About this episode

Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen continue to target cargo ships in the Red Sea despite multiple rounds of retaliatory strikes on Houthi targets from a US-led coalition. Meanwhile, Iran itself launched missiles into Iraq and Syria, escalating fears of a wider war in the region amid Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza. In this episode, CNN military analyst and retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling explains what the Biden administration is weighing as it navigates the situation and looks at what the Houthis are really after. Learn more about your ad choices.
