Grey Zone: Israel, U.S. & West Fail To Tame Iran’s Yemeni Proxy? What Makes Houthis A Formidable Fighting Force | Hindustan Times Podcast
from Hindustan Times Podcast · host HT Smartcast
A missile from Yemen shut down Israel’s airspace. Tel Aviv went into panic mode, flights were grounded, and a crater appeared near its busiest airport. But this wasn’t just another missile attack. It was a statement — and the Houthis claimed responsibility. Backed by Iran but increasingly acting on their own, the Houthis are evolving into one of the most unpredictable actors in the Middle East. So what’s their real endgame? Are they trying to provoke a wider regional war? Or are they simply showing off their reach? Meanwhile, Israel's Netanyahu is pointing fingers at Iran, warning of retaliation. With U.S.-Iran nuclear talks already on thin ice, could this be the final straw? And what role does Donald Trump, now back in the White House play in shaping the next chapter?In this episode, Ananya Dutta decodes the timing, the strategy, and the possible fallout of an attack that was less about damage, and more about strategy.Watch the full episode on YouTube-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At4378Z6MhY#IsraelUnderAttack, #Houthis, #YemenStrike, #MiddleEastCrisis, #IranProxy, #Netanyahu, #GazaWar, #RedSeaCrisis, #TelAviv, #BenGurionAirport, #IsraelIranTensions, #IranBackedHouthis, #IranProxies, #USIranTensions, #Trump2025, #OperationProsperity, #HouthiMissile, #AirspaceShut, #MiddleEastGeopolitics, #HouthisVsIsrael, #GazaSolidarity, #IranFrankenstein, #GreyZone, #AnanyaDutta, #WestAsiaFlashpoint
