Oct 7, 2026 · 1h 6m

Summary

Patrick Henningsen analyzes the escalating Yemen conflict, arguing that Saudi Arabia’s reliance on mercenaries and air power is failing against battle-hardened Ansar Allah forces. He connects this crisis to broader U.S. and Israeli strategies to weaken Arab nationalist states and the Gulf, noting how Pakistan and Turkey are being leveraged despite domestic opposition. Henningsen also predicts a potential U.S. military move in Oman to control the Strait of Hormuz, framing the region’s instability as a deliberate effort to dismantle the "Greater Israel" project’s obstacles.
