Yemen at a Crossroads: Why a Regional Conflict Matters Globally
The conflict in Yemen has entered a new and dangerous phase, with renewed fighting between Ansar Allah (the Houthis) and Saudi-backed government forces. But this is more than a localised conflict. From threats to global shipping routes and energy supplies to shifting regional power dynamics, developments in Yemen have far-reaching implications. In this episode of the World of Intelligence podcast, Sean Corbett, Cristina Varriale are joined by Janes analysts Daniel Burge, and Jack Nicholls to examine the latest developments on the ground, assess Ansar Allah's military capabilities and strategic ambitions, explore the complex relationship with Iran, and discuss what may come next. They also share how intelligence analysts navigate one of the world's most challenging information environments to separate fact from narrative.
