The Houthis of Yemen are increasingly becoming a subject of major global concern. Having ramped up attacks on commercial shipping passing through the Bab al-Mandab Strait, they pose a direct threat to international maritime trade and the global economy. As a vital passage supplementing the Strait of Hormuz, disruptions here risk driving global prices for oil and essential commodities significantly higher, carrying severe financial and political consequences worldwide. Yet, the highest price of this ongoing crisis is borne by the Yemeni people. Amid 11 years of devastating civil war, an estimated 400,000 people have died from combat or famine, with thousands more forced to flee their homes as refugees. What is officially a domestic conflict between the Houthis and the Yemeni government has escalated into a broad regional war involving Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States, the UK, and Israel. With Saudi Arabia calling on the US for a renewed military campaign following a Houthi attack on Mecca, the world eagerly awaits President Donald Trump’s next move. In a rare and exclusive interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, senior Houthi official Nasr al-Din Amer joins Piers Morgan to address these escalating tensions, the attacks in the Red Sea, and what comes next for Yemen and the region. Piers is then joined by Tehran University’s Professor Mohammad Marandi, Middle East Forum chief strategist Jim Hanson and military analyst and political scientist Robert Pape. 00.00 Introduction 02:03 Naser Al-Din Amer discusses accusations of a Houthi attack on Mecca 06:19 Why the Houthis believe Saudi Arabia was planning a ground invasion 09:16 How do the Houthis respond to claims they are a terrorist organisation? 13:08 What do the Houthis plan to do with the Bab el-Mandeb Strait 20:56 What is the end game for the Houthis? 22:47 Panel reacts to Naser Al-Din Amer interview 26:51 Professor Marandi on the Houthis’ reluctance to admit who their allies are 30:57 Trump’s ‘annihilate Islamic republic’ UN speech 35:30 Jim Hanson argues President Trump’s plan is working 42:06 Marandi: ‘Your other guest is openly genocidal’ Subscribe to stay up-to-date on all Uncensored content.
