Today, Jess, Les, John, and Andrew dig into the Houthis' resurgent offensive and the widening regional crisis it has triggered. With Houthi strikes targeting Saudi Arabia, Iraqi militias hitting Saudi’s East-West pipeline, and the Strait of Hormuz under pressure, Riyadh finds itself encircled. after Washington declined to intervene on its behalf, Riyadh has turned to China, Iran’s top trading partner, for help.
Will China move to exert genuine leverage over Iran? What does Saudi Arabia's outreach to Beijing signal about the durability of American partnerships in the Gulf? What options are there to break the network sustaining the Houthis?
Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.
