Drawing on his firsthand experience in Yemen, Michael describes the Houthis’ treatment of civilians, their military tactics and the Iranian support behind their rise. The conversation also examines the latest Houthi offensive, the threat to global shipping and Saudi oil infrastructure, and why Michael believes Europe could increasingly find itself in their sights.
