In the latest edition of badlands, I discuss the Yemeni Houthi’s attacks on Saudi ships transiting the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, American attacks on civilian sites in Iran.
Plus, I offer my take on those who predict that Iran’s capabilities and resilience are overrated, and why I think they totally miss the point.
Also, watch or listen to my latest NewsX World interview—about Donald Trump’s inability to find an exit strategy, Lebanon’s future, and the possibility that the war could hurt the primacy of the petrodollar.
