Ashok KumarGUEST
So if you attack even one, insurance companies are based in London, which are also monopolized, say, no, no, the liabilities are too high.
Ashok KumarGUEST
And that's what happened in the Babamunda Strait during the Yemen War, and that's also what's happening in the Strait of Hormuz.
Ashok KumarGUEST
So this model that they've applied there is proving over a longer term to be much more effective than the American-style kind of shock and awe.
Ashok KumarGUEST
Look, it's still an active case, what's happening.
Richard AtwoodHOST
But if anti-Houthi forces do push them back with more Saudi support, Hamid, how much help is Iran gonna give? How much is Iran vested in making sure that the Houthis don't lose ground?
Hamidreza AziziGUEST
Well, uh, to respond to that, I think, uh, I need to also reflect a bit on, um, some of the points that, uh, Yasmin mentioned, which are, uh, quite correct, of course, in the sense of how, uh, the perception of, uh, Iran and, uh, its engagement, especially in the Yemen war and everything that's happening around the Strait of Hormuz is driving the Gulf policies.
Hamidreza AziziGUEST
Because when I listen to, uh, the debates in Tehran and, uh, also based on what I can understand, uh, in terms of the broader Iranian regional policies, I can say that, um, there is a few distinct and specific points that, uh, defines Iran's, uh, view towards Saudi Arabia especially, and it can, uh, lead us to a better assessment of how Iran is going to react to a potential setback for, uh, the Houthis.
Hamidreza AziziGUEST
So first of all, Iran has an interest in not pushing Saudi Arabia toward the Abraham Accord axis, uh, however far that can actually be or that actually is.
Mosaab BabaGUEST
So it's reported that they're, like, offering them money and all kinds of stuff [laughs] so it's...
Mosaab BabaGUEST
But, but, but what they've been doing in Sudan, like, you know, even a country like Iran, like, if you give them a trillion dollars, they're gonna be like, "Yeah, I still don't trust you because we see what you're doing over there." Now, the biggest complications comes m- surprisingly from the Yemen War.
Mosaab BabaGUEST
You know, the UAE, like, there's no proof of this, but it just seems like little by little they're kind of, you know, backtracking a little bit.
Mosaab BabaGUEST
You know, n- not that ...
Mosaab BabaGUEST
It's been a little bit less.
Mosaab BabaGUEST
I mean, we need to investigate it a little bit more, but that's kinda what it seems like right now.
Mosaab BabaGUEST
And all of the defections from the RSF, you know, are probably because, like, "Hey, man, it looks like it's game over for, like, a lot of these Gulf countries, so we can't really, you know, depend on them anymore." The Yemen thing is what makes it mo- even more complicated because the Yemen war, since 2015, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have actually recruited both SAF and the RSF to fight Ansar Allah, the Houthis.
Mosaab BabaGUEST
So there's been talk recently about, like, Hemedti wants to remove his forces from Southern Saudi Arabia, and people were like, "Wait a minute.
Scott R. AndersonHOST
One might be the Iran-United States war to some extent, uh, although in a lot of ways there have been lots of fronts on that front if you bring in a lot of the proxies, uh, and strikes that Iran has pursued against other regional targets, other countries in the region, uh, other than the United States and Israel, with whom it's engaged in the most direct hostilities and, and has been for the last several months.
Scott R. AndersonHOST
And also a new front in the Yemen Civil War, which has been dragging on for more than a decade now, uh, depending on how you count it.
Scott R. AndersonHOST
Um, we had a UN s- brokered ceasefire that was in s- place until earlier this year.
Scott R. AndersonHOST
That has broken down, not terribly surprisingly.

Scott R. AndersonHOST
So question for you, Dan, is, is, does that make sense? Does that help explain some of the timing here? And what does it tell us about how this is likely to intersect with kind of two different alliances underlying here? First is the Houthis and the Iranians.
Scott R. AndersonHOST
Like, how much are these issues linked? Are the Houthis really able to pursue this independent of Iran? Uh, do we know? Like, is this a conflict that's gonna have to be negotiated separate from the Iran war because the Houthis are much more independent actors now? Or is this really something that Iran still has at the spigot and can turn it on and turn it off, as was kind of the operational assumption to some extent in 2014, 2015, '16, where, you know, you had to focus on the arms embargo and other measures around Yemen? And the flip side is on the Gulf States.
Scott R. AndersonHOST
I mean, we know the UAE and Saudi Arabia together were kind of lockstep in the early stage of the Yemen Civil War, have had a huge falling out over the last really six or seven years, I think.
Scott R. AndersonHOST
Um, the Houthis can strike the UAE, too.
Gideon RachmanHOST
Right.
Emile HokayemGUEST
So the, the, the controversy over the first Yemen War, twenty fifteen to t- twenty twenty-two, in the US was quite bruising for, for Saudi.
Gideon RachmanHOST
Mm-hmm.
Emile HokayemGUEST
They, they felt that, you know, the Senate, Congress was, was not happy.
