Iran's Houthis just restarted the Yemen war after 4 years of calm — and seized the islands that choke the Red Sea.

Recorded September 24, 2026.

In this strategic briefing, Middle East Expert Noa Azimi breaks down the Houthi seizure of strategic positions along the western coast and Bab el Mandeb, why Saudi Arabia is now largely isolated, why the U.S. wants to hit "the head of the octopus" in Iran first, and where Israel must draw the line on involvement.
