Michael Stephens, a Senior Associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies, tells Al Jazeera that Yemen’s Houthi maritime blockade could cut off Saudi oil expo
Let the US Saudi Britain know they lost everytime they attacked yemen for 11 years they have been fighting and defeated their enemies, yemen is graveyard for invaders.
Of course the Houthis could be bombed out of existence. When countries like the UK train their people that the only response when confronted by a person with a gun is to run away and call the police, it becomes no wonder that they can’t figure out ways to defeat the Houthis.
Unusual to hear a guest speak so realistically about the Iran conflict, kudos Mr Stephens and RUSI UK. I’m also relieved that we have some people at least who understand the scale of the strategic blunder unfolding here. I look forward to ongoing FOX News reports moving forwards with the phrase ‘inconceivable’ being used to describe unexpected developments.
It is not the official yemeni government it was imposed by the west and saudi arabia and they all say the internationally recognised government because they know on the ground in Yemen that actually do not have legitimacy among the people.
14% of world trade, or 6 million barrels per day, will certainly have an impact.

Why did Saudi Arabia need to bomb the Houthi airport?
