CONFLICTED

When Will Iran Play the Houthi Card?

Listen Later

Aimen has been called away for important last-minute insider meetings, so sitting in for him on today's episode is Nadwa Al-Dawsari, veteran researcher, conflict analyst, and policy advisor with 20 years of field experience in Yemen and the broader Middle East.

Nadwa and Thomas discuss:

  • How Yemeni tribalism really works
  • The IRGC agents who are in control of Houthi war policy
  • Houthi eschatological beliefs
  • When the Houthis are likely to join the Iran War in force
  • What the military capabilities of the Houthis really are
  • The long shadow of the Stockholm Agreement
  • Houthi techniques of indoctrination and control
  • The growing Houthi presence in the Horn of Africa
  • How the Houthis and Al Qaeda are now effectively allies
  • Why Western decision-makers get the Middle East so disastrously wrong
