Seyed M. Marandi: Super Tankers & Drones Hit in Hormuz as Saudi-Yemeni War Burns Bab al-Mandab
Summary
Professor Marandi analyzes the escalating conflict in Yemen, noting that Ansarullah’s control of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and strikes on Saudi oil infrastructure are crippling the Kingdom’s economy. He argues that Saudi Arabia’s inability to defeat Yemen militarily, combined with its financial hemorrhaging, makes a negotiated end to the siege inevitable. The discussion also covers Iran’s refusal to negotiate with the US until the MOU is implemented, the strategic importance of the BRICS summit, and the growing economic instability facing Gulf states.
