Sep 18, 2026 · 59m

Summary

Ambassador J. B. N. argues that Saudi Arabia is strategically isolated after the US refused to aid it against Houthi attacks, forcing a potential rapprochement with Iran. The discussion details how Houthi control of the Bab el-Mandeb and Iranian blockades of the Strait of Hormuz have severed global oil supplies, causing severe economic inflation. The guests also critique Western narratives, rejecting the "proxy" label for regional actors and condemning US officials for promoting Islamophobic rhetoric that misrepresents Islamic theology.
