When Will Iran Play the Houthi Card?

CONFLICTED

An ex-Al Qaeda jihadi turned MI6 spy and a former monk turned filmmaker, have been embedded at the heart of conflicts in the Middle East. Together Aimen Dean and Thomas Small unpack the realities of war, fundamentalism and their global implications through first-hand experience.

Aimen has been called away for important last-minute insider meetings, so sitting in for him on today's episode is Nadwa Al-Dawsari, veteran researcher, conflict analyst, and policy advisor with 20 years of field experience in Yemen and the broader Middle East.

Nadwa and Thomas discuss:

 How Yemeni tribalism really works

 The IRGC agents who are in control of Houthi war policy

 Houthi eschatological beliefs

 When the Houthis are likely to join the Iran War in force

 What the military capabilities of the Houthis really are

 The long shadow of the Stockholm Agreement

 Houthi techniques of indoctrination and control

 The growing Houthi presence in the Horn of Africa

 How the Houthis and Al Qaeda are now effectively allies

 Why Western decision-makers get the Middle East so disastrously wrong
