[00:00:00] 'who can't even put
[00:00:01] of basic food on the table, on one hand there's their
[00:00:04] honor, but on the other hand, there's all the invisible
[00:00:08] unwaged work that women do, and women are really the
[00:00:11] pillar, you know, if the woman is doing well, the men will do
[00:00:15] a well,

[00:01:37] of
[00:01:42] of
[00:02:13] of
[00:02:21] Four years, those of us
[00:02:22] of in the 11 to have watched wars, sponsored, armed and
[00:02:26] politically protected by Washington and Zinus Israel, turn our cities into.
[00:02:30] ruins our economies into wreckage and our daily lives into a permanent exercise
[00:02:34] and survival. We were told implicitly or explicitly
[00:02:38] that the consequences
[00:02:38] of these wars would remain
[00:02:41] of conveniently contained in our part
[00:02:42] of the world. Well, that
[00:02:43] of assumption is becoming rather expensive. Trump's west Asia adventure
[00:02:47] of aggression is
[00:02:48] in now feeding directly into a global energy crisis with a
[00:02:52] straight of hormouse disrupted and the Babilmendib be
[00:02:56] increasingly unsafe due to Trump's war against Iran.
[00:03:00] Iran and Yemen, two
[00:03:01] of the world's most important energy and shipping arteries have become
[00:03:04] casualties of war. Oil has climbed above
[00:03:08] $100 a barrel, while diesel in the United States of America has
[00:03:12] reached unprecedented levels, and diesel is not
[00:03:15] simply what trucks put in their tanks. It moves food,
[00:03:19] operates farms, power, factories, drives
[00:03:23] construction and keeps global supply chains alive. The
[00:03:26] result, higher transport costs, higher... food prices,
[00:03:30] higher heating
[00:03:31] of bills and another powerful accelerant for
[00:03:34] of inflation. In the United States of America, households are being warned
[00:03:38] of about soaring, heating, oil costs and dwindling fuel
[00:03:42] stocks. In Europe, already struggling with expensive energy and
[00:03:46] economic pressures, consumers and businesses face
[00:03:49] another bill for a
[00:03:51] of war that they did not start. And here is the
[00:03:54] a irony: a while ordinary taxpayers are being asked to absorb the economy's
[00:03:58] consequences, American oil refined. are enjoying
[00:04:01] extraordinary profits. Apparently, even
[00:04:08] of in a crisis, somebody gets the premium package. You see, the damage does not stop at the pump, disrupted refineries and fuel
[00:04:11] shipments, declining diesel exports and collapsing inventories are
[00:04:15] a tightening the global market. Add Trump's tariff policies
[00:04:19] to the equation,
[00:04:20] of and which raises the cost of important
[00:04:22] of goods and disrupt trade, and the global economy is being
[00:04:25] squeezed
[00:04:26] of from multiple directions at once. From where we stand. and in West
[00:04:30] Asia, this is painfully familiar. We have lived through
[00:04:33] a the bombs, sanctions, displacement, and economic
[00:04:36] devastation. What is new is that the econ financing it
[00:04:40] have discovered
[00:04:42] of inconvenient
[00:04:43] of truth.
[00:04:43] of There is no such thing as geographically contained
[00:04:47] war an interconnected world. The
[00:04:51] bill has
[00:04:52] of arrived, this time it is not being delivered to the Middle East
[00:04:56] alone. Welcome to the Mid East Stream. I'm Marsman.
[00:05:05] For years, the wars imposed on West Asia were presented as regional
[00:05:09] conflicts whose consequences could somehow be contained within the... region,
[00:05:13] but with the straight of hormoz and the straight of babel mandab under growing
[00:05:16] pressure due to continuous US and Zianous Israeli wars of
[00:05:20] aggression, the energy arteries connecting West Asia to the global
[00:05:24] economy have become strategic fault lines and the economic
[00:05:28] consequences are now being felt far beyond our
[00:05:31] shores. To discuss this issue with us from Beirot is Mr. Muhammad
[00:05:35] Zubaidi, yemeny political commentator, it's a pleasure having you with us, Mr.
[00:05:39] Muhammad, now from geopolitical perspective here, what
[00:05:42] does the disruption of both the straight of hormos and the straight of babal
[00:05:46] mandab mean to the global economy? mean, is this
[00:05:50] just another temporary energy shock because the war?
[00:05:53] or is the control and the vulnerability of
[00:05:57] both states now a fundamentally changing point
[00:06:01] the calculations, the policy calculations for the US, zianist
[00:06:05] Israel, the Arab world and the large economies the
[00:06:08] world. bismillah, شكرا للاستضافه,
[00:06:12] In the name of Allah, the most compassionate, the most merciful, thank you for having
[00:06:16] me. In reality, answering this question in full would require a
[00:06:20] great deal of time, because it is a profound and multi-faceted issue.
[00:06:24] But in brief, the transformations taking place around the world's maritime
[00:06:28] choke points, particularly the straight of hormos and Babelmandab, are
[00:06:32] placing these two waterways within a fundamentally changing balance of power. We are
[00:06:36] witnessing a shift and control and influence over these strategic passages.
[00:06:39] From a period of predominantly western and American control. toward new reality
[00:06:43] in which other actors opposed to American Hegemony are exercising greater
[00:06:47] influence. This has effectively transformed these two choke points into major
[00:06:51] strategic weapons and elevated geography itself into one the most
[00:06:54] powerful tools in the current phase of confrontation. If their disruption becomes part of
[00:06:58] a more advanced stage of an ongoing conflict, the consequences will clearly go
[00:07:02] far beyond the temporary impact. They could be deep, structural
[00:07:06] and long-lasting. For the United States, this carries several
[00:07:10] important consequences. We are: talking about the erosion of American dominance in the
[00:07:14] Red Sea, the weakening of deterrents, and what can be described as a loss of
[00:07:18] strategic focus. The United States had placed confronting China at the heart of
[00:07:22] its national security strategy, yet today a significant portion of its
[00:07:26] military presence, attention
[00:07:27] and strategic momentum is concentrated in the Middle East. This creates a
[00:07:31] major problem of strategic overstretch. There is also the issue the
[00:07:35] erosion of prestige and the implications that carries. For Zionist Israel,
[00:07:39] meanwhile, the maritime blockade is becoming increasingly.
[00:07:43] depth is being constrained, particularly is being constrained,
[00:07:47] particularly in the red sea and the Arabian sea. this has significant
[00:07:51] its strategic implications for both the economy and the security the Israeli entity.
[00:07:55] we have already seen the impact the confrontation between Yemen and the Israel
[00:07:58] entity, particularly on the port of known in
[00:08:02] substantial. as for Europe,
[00:08:04] it is among the actors most affected by this transformation surrounding the two choke
[00:08:07] points. Europe is becoming increasingly constrained because it depends heavily on
[00:08:11] these routes. particularly the straight of hormos for energy supplies and other
[00:08:15] vital commodities, any disruption to these two maritime corridors
[00:08:19] therefore carries extremely significant consequences for Europe. In
[00:08:22] short, the shift in the balance of control and influence over these two waterways is
[00:08:26] producing a corresponding shift
[00:08:28] in the political consequences and consequently in future
[00:08:31] strategic calculations. These two choke points coding straight of
[00:08:35] hormous and yemen in the case of. We are therefore facing
[00:08:38] major transformation in the strategic environment.
[00:08:43] Definitely this is where I want to take your opinion Mr. Mohammed about the
[00:08:47] role of Yemen. Yemen now sits at the one the
[00:08:51] world's most critical, most important
[00:08:54] uh routes for shipment, especially for a global energy
[00:08:58] shipment as a corridor to Europe, as you mentioned in your answer. How has
[00:09:02] this conflict really transformed Babel Mandab uh from
[00:09:06] this regional maritime passage into something that has
[00:09:10] a pressure point of consequences. for the prices of
[00:09:13] oil during this winter, what does this reveal about the
[00:09:17] strategic importance of Yemen in this specific
[00:09:21] point?
[00:09:25] indeed,
[00:09:25] what is happening around mandab is particularly significant, we are talking
[00:09:29] about major strategic choke point whose importance is comparable to that the straight of
[00:09:33] hormos, approximately 12% of global trade passes through this
[00:09:37] corridor, along with around 9 to 10% of global energy flows.
[00:09:41] the development surrounding. control and influence over Babel Mandab are therefore
[00:09:45] transforming the straight from regional maritime passage into a strategic
[00:09:48] confrontation point with far-reaching consequences. It affects the arteries of
[00:09:52] global trade, supply chains and western economic security. All
[00:09:56] these dimensions place Yemen within an extremely important, sensitive and
[00:10:00] strategically significant geographical position. The significance becomes even
[00:10:03] greater given the continuation the current regional international and global
[00:10:07] conflict. In this context, Babel Mandab gives Yamen major global
[00:10:11] pressure card. This leverage could force changes in supply chains and
[00:10:15] economic security across the west. If the conflict continues
[00:10:18] escalate, it could cause severe disruption to supply chains,
[00:10:22] global trade and other interconnected economic systems. This is
[00:10:26] particularly relevant if we assume that the conflict extends over a prolonged
[00:10:29] period. Under such circumstances, Yemen would have greater ability to
[00:10:33] utilize this strategic leverage. These considerations are also linked to the
[00:10:37] influence and control that have developed in recent stages, not only around
[00:10:41] Babelmandab itself, but also around the city of Almakha and
[00:10:44] consequently along this important coastal corridor. This has
[00:10:47] significant implications for western economic security, not only at the level
[00:10:51] of governments and economic systems, but potentially even at the level of... consumer prices
[00:10:55] and household costs affecting western consumers. This represents
[00:10:59] major shift in how the west approaches the separation between military action in the use
[00:11:03] of hard power on the one hand, and the economic consequences that may
[00:11:07] follow on the other. We are therefore witnessing a significant global strategic
[00:11:11] positioning by Yemen. This positioning has been enabled by its influence over
[00:11:15] major global pressure point, Babel Mandab. It gives us an
[00:11:19] indication the potential impact this strategic leverage could have on the
[00:11:22] transformations the coming phase, particular.
[00:11:35] a barrel and this has significantly impacted the
[00:11:39] citizens, the tax paying citizens the west who seem
[00:11:43] to be now paying the price of all the burden of wars that
[00:11:47] was brought about them by their regimes. now
[00:11:50] energy security, but now this is challenging what he's
[00:11:53] saying, and what are? the browder geopolitical consequences if the economic
[00:11:57] pressure continues, knowing that Europe might be
[00:12:01] looking a new front that might open against
[00:12:04] Russia as well, this will be devastating even more for the economy, what do you
[00:12:08] think, the impact on energy
[00:12:12] flows, supply chains and energy prices is particularly significant.
[00:12:16] In fact, throughout the conflicts we have witnessed in previous periods, we have
[00:12:20] not seen a transformation quite like the one taking place today. What we are witnessing
[00:12:24] challenge is the assumption. that the economic consequences of using hard power and
[00:12:27] military force can somehow be separated from the military action itself.
[00:12:31] when the west pursued different forms of confrontation in the middle east, it operated on the
[00:12:35] assumption that the use of military force would not necessarily produce major economic
[00:12:39] repercussions, particularly in terms of supply chains, energy flows and energy
[00:12:43] prices. this time, however, the situation is completely different.
[00:12:47] today, any use of military or non-military pressure produces
[00:12:51] economic repercussions for the states involved. we are therefore witnessing.
[00:12:55] fundamental shift
[00:12:55] and the consequences associated with the use of hard power. military action and
[00:12:59] military options can no longer be treated as separate from their economic
[00:13:03] consequences, and this is highly consequential because it forces these states to
[00:13:07] reconsider their calculations and reassess the circumstances under which they
[00:13:10] resort to military options. what we are seeing today is a
[00:13:14] sense a form of defiance, particularly from Donald Trump and the U.S.
[00:13:18] administration, and from the wider western camp, which continues
[00:13:22] to view the use of force as initial option, but this... approach carries major
[00:13:26] consequences. In recent stages, however, there have been significant
[00:13:29] reassessments, particularly among some European countries that recognize the
[00:13:33] potentially severe economic consequences, disruptions to supply
[00:13:37] chains, shortages of essential goods and materials, and beyond that, the shock
[00:13:41] of rising energy prices and other costs. This is producing major
[00:13:45] strategic shift. It is pushing these states toward a broader reassessment of
[00:13:49] military options and toward political solutions in negotiated settlements.
[00:13:53] The challenge therefore is how to absorb all these shocks, particularly the
[00:13:57] impact of rising energy prices and energy shortages.
[00:14:00] Europe is already facing serious challenge as it enters the winter season,
[00:14:04] especially following the disruption of Russian gas supplies, given Europe's
[00:14:08] previous heavy reliance on energy from the east. At the same
[00:14:11] time, the transformations we discussed in the first and second questions,
[00:14:15] particularly the disruption the straight of hormos and Babelmandab, place
[00:14:19] Europe before even greater and more dangerous challenge. This could force major
[00:14:23] changes in its strategic choices. This is why we argue that economic
[00:14:26] pressure has become a major instrument of leverage. The pressure cards available
[00:14:30] to Iran and Yemen could produce significant changes in the choices made during the next
[00:14:34] phase. They could push these states to move beyond military options and toward
[00:14:38] political settlements and potentially force those pursuing military
[00:14:41] confrontation to reconsider their approach. This is particularly
[00:14:45] relevant to Donald Trump who continues to seek to place military power at the
[00:14:49] forefront, while moving away from consideration the broader economic
[00:14:52] consequences, consequences that are now...
[00:14:57] I want to thank you very much, Mr. Mohammed Zubaidi, political analyst and commentator for
[00:15:01] joining us to discuss this very, very crucial metal at the moment in the global economy.
[00:15:05] Thank you very much for your time and contribution. Ladies and gents, please do stay with
[00:15:09] us, because after this break we were talk about how Saudi
[00:15:12] Arabia is gambling with its
[00:15:14] security.
[00:15:34] Saudi Arabia has spent decades building its security strategy around
[00:15:38] Washington, yet the current regional war is exposing the limits of that
[00:15:42] partnership. With Yemen gaining strategic leverage over Babel Mandab
[00:15:46] and Saudi energy infrastructure under pressure, Riyadh is confronting a
[00:15:50] question that weapons alone cannot answer. Can regional
[00:15:54] security still be guaranteed from outside the region? More details
[00:15:58] in the following report. For
[00:16:02] decades Saudi Arabia poured billions into an alliance with
[00:16:05] Washington buying. american weapons deapening economic
[00:16:09] ties and placing its security in the hands the world's most powerful
[00:16:13] military. the promise was simple: boil for security,
[00:16:17] but now when the kingdom faces perhaps its most serious strategic
[00:16:20] predicament in years, Washington appears to be saying, you are on your
[00:16:24] own. the irony is difficult to miss. as the war with the
[00:16:28] Islamic Republic of Iran continues, Saudi Arabian oil infrastructure
[00:16:32] has come under attack, its east-west bipeline remains
[00:16:36] largely shut, and Kingdom faces growing pressure around the
[00:16:39] Red Sea and Babel Mandib, yet President Donald Trump has
[00:16:43] resisted direct military intervention against Yemen despite requests
[00:16:47] for assistance reportedly going unanswered. To put the dilemma
[00:16:51] bluntly, Riyad invested decades in its military partnership with
[00:16:55] Washington for precisely this kind of moment, and now
[00:16:59] Washington is not stepping up, and this is where Saudi Arabia's strategic
[00:17:02] conundrum becomes impossible to ignore. The kingdom has spent years
[00:17:06] acquiring. sophisticated American weaponry and strengthening its military
[00:17:10] partnership with Washington, yet weapons alone cannot guarantee security when the
[00:17:14] geography the conflict has changed. Yemen sits beside
[00:17:18] Bable Mandib, while Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure stretches across a
[00:17:21] vast and vulnerable landscape. The east-west pipeline, once regarded
[00:17:25] as a critical alternative to the straight up or moves, is now
[00:17:29] itself under attack. Meanwhile, Washington appears reluctant to repeat its
[00:17:33] previous military campaign in Yemen. Trump may prefer to portray
[00:17:37] this. as Saudi Ansara problem, but the wider conflict has already
[00:17:40] connected Yemen, Iran, the Red Sea, and the global energy
[00:17:44] market. Soviad faces a choice that cannot be solved
[00:17:48] simply by buying another weapon system. It can continue relying on an
[00:17:51] American security architecture that has demonstrated limits precisely when the
[00:17:55] kingdoms needs it most, or it can recognize that geography
[00:17:59] cannot be bombed away and that sustainable security may ultimately
[00:18:03] require political agreements with its neighbors including Yemen and the
[00:18:07] Islamic. republic of Iran because of decades of military spending have
[00:18:11] not insulated. The question is why it keeps expecting weapons to solve
[00:18:14] geopolitical
[00:18:15] problem.
[00:18:21] To discuss this issue with us, ladies and gents from Rome is
[00:18:25] Dr. Tim Anderson, political analist and author of many
[00:18:29] books about West Asia, last of which is his book called
[00:18:33] Understanding Yemen. Thank you very much for being with us, Professor
[00:18:36] Anderson now. geopolitically speaking, has Yemen's growing
[00:18:40] control over the Red Sea and the Babel Mandab
[00:18:44] fundamentally really altered the strategic balance facing Saudi Arabia and
[00:18:48] its American partners, I mean with the uh Saudi kingdom's east-west
[00:18:51] pipeline being vulnerable, being hit, how much has the geography of
[00:18:55] Yemen really transformed what was once presented as a
[00:18:59] manageable Saudi security problem into a wider regional and global
[00:19:03] strategic challenge? Thank you for inviting me, yes I...
[00:19:07] think the consolidation the answer revolutionary
[00:19:11] government's control the red sea coast right down to the babal
[00:19:14] mandab has significantly changed things in
[00:19:18] the region. also I might draw attention to the fact that the
[00:19:22] attacks that unser forces have made on the Saudi's
[00:19:26] facilities, infrastructure oil infrastructure in
[00:19:29] relation to the siege against siege um
[00:19:32] strategy of Arala um and it's coordination with
[00:19:36] other. resistance forces is very important, it's notable I think that the
[00:19:40] Iraqi resistance was involved in disabling this
[00:19:43] east-west oil pipeline the Saudies.
[00:19:47] Well, Professor Anderson, we're seeing more challenges coming from that
[00:19:51] area and from other areas against the European taxpayers
[00:19:54] and the American taxpayers, the west in general, and we're seeing lot of public
[00:19:58] anger there. How much do you think that Yemen's role now
[00:20:02] is basically just uh dictating what
[00:20:06] the uh security. the global energy should look like in the
[00:20:09] world, well it's very important because before February the
[00:20:13] 28th this year when the war was launched against Iran, they
[00:20:17] said something like 25% the the world's
[00:20:21] oil trade was coming through the straights of and then another
[00:20:25] 7% from
[00:20:27] the the or 7% from the red sea, now when
[00:20:30] the um when the ancerolla forces
[00:20:33] effectively consolidate their control over b
[00:20:37] and these attacks on the oil infrastructure at Yangu port and the
[00:20:41] East-West pipeline began because the Saudis had a had an option to
[00:20:45] plan C if you like to export oil in smaller ships
[00:20:49] through. the sewis canal north in the red sea, that is now gone now,
[00:20:53] so effectively the the oil sales and the finances from
[00:20:57] Saudi Arabia are now zero, and that's really
[00:21:01] bring to ahead a type of crisis for the
[00:21:04] soudies as result their hosting the US
[00:21:07] bases, so really the the the the choke
[00:21:11] hold on oil exports, so it's say over 30% of
[00:21:15] oil experts on in the world, because there's something like the trade
[00:21:19] was... like 100 million barrels a day, um, so more than
[00:21:23] 30% of that is coming from this region, which is now, oil reserves have
[00:21:27] come down substantially, there are few countries that have bigger reserves than
[00:21:31] other like China has bigger reserves, but really prices are steadily
[00:21:34] going up and we're facing a situation which
[00:21:38] can't be improved in the short term at all, even by release
[00:21:42] of reserves or some additional production from some other quarter, so
[00:21:46] really this is a slow building process, "there is not going
[00:21:50] to be any relief from it really, unless the war in the
[00:21:54] region, the siege of Yemen, the the war on and and the siege on
[00:21:58] Iran are lifted, there's not going to be any possibility of
[00:22:01] rapid, I hear you very well, Tim, but Saudi Arabia has
[00:22:05] invested enormous political, economic and
[00:22:09] military capital in its partnership with Washington to try and
[00:22:12] avoid all that, yet the United States of America now appears reluctant even
[00:22:16] interven directly against Yemen, does this moment?" they
[00:22:20] expose a deeper limitation in the traditional oil for
[00:22:24] security, if you will, relationship, and could Riyad ultimately
[00:22:27] be forced to reconsider whether lasting security can be achieved through military
[00:22:31] alliances and weapon purchases rather than political accomodation with Yemen
[00:22:35] and the Islamic Republic
[00:22:37] of Iran. Yes, of course, I think that's happening already. It seems
[00:22:41] that the the countries were the the lead player in
[00:22:44] trying to develop some talks with Oman, and the Saudis
[00:22:48] didn't want to participate because... It's really difficult for family
[00:22:51] dictatorship to change things around and they're so used to
[00:22:55] spending such lot of money that this pressure on them of course is going to force
[00:22:59] them to reconsider, but amongst the uh the Arab dictatorships
[00:23:03] the Persian gulfound that's the important thing in that factor and of course the
[00:23:06] Saudis have been so arrogant they think they control the whole Arabian
[00:23:10] peninsula and that they they're entitled to control the other GCC
[00:23:14] partners and and Yemen of course and they've really come hit hit a brick wall
[00:23:18] with Yemen basically they hit it. 'a few years back and
[00:23:21] there was a cease fire and they haven't really been able to improve things at all
[00:23:25] recently, rather they tried to reimpose the air, land and
[00:23:29] sea bloccade on Yemen, after there was that brief period
[00:23:33] of respite where there were a couple of um Mahan air flights into
[00:23:36] sana, so really uh the Yemenis have responded in
[00:23:40] very strong way and the Saudis don't have a good option
[00:23:44] and but the they don't really have any flexibility either in in
[00:23:47] reconsidering their position do they'. "historically they've been this
[00:23:51] situation where they've served effectively as slaves for the
[00:23:54] anglo-americans, and changing that equation is going to be very difficult
[00:23:58] for them, it may be that the system in Saudi Arabia is not
[00:24:02] possible to not able to change,
[00:24:06] well I want to talk about after writing about Yemen's history, society and
[00:24:09] political dynamics and its energy as well,
[00:24:13] what do you hope European audiences will understand differently about
[00:24:17] the country today, and does the current? crisis demonstrate why
[00:24:21] Yemen can no longer be treated as a peripheral actor in the region but must
[00:24:25] be understood as a central player in the geopolitics of esta
[00:24:29] and the global economy as well? yes, and the problem really is
[00:24:32] that hardly anyone in the world, hardly any states,
[00:24:36] even our our friends in Russia and China and Latin America have
[00:24:40] really recognized
[00:24:41] that there was revolution in Yemen in 2014, there is revolutionary
[00:24:45] coalition governmentts, an extremely uh broad and inclusive
[00:24:49] government of... It's not based in one clan in the north of
[00:24:53] Yemen, as people say the rebels, that's
[00:24:56] really misleading people immediately when that terminology is used, and
[00:25:00] of course the consequence of not recognizing what's happened in Yemen and the
[00:25:04] fact that have
[00:25:05] we revolutionary government which now controls and
[00:25:08] provides services for probably now more than 80% the
[00:25:12] population means the the UN security back siege
[00:25:16] on all of Yemen is really.
[00:25:50] all powerful, it can't get its way, the so-called security guarantees with
[00:25:54] the US are not worth very much. this is an important lesson, not just
[00:25:58] to those that the US is attacking, but also those that consider themselves
[00:26:01] allies. under security umbrella the US, so that sort of
[00:26:05] reconsideration I think is going on in in such disperate places
[00:26:09] as Europe with their concerns about that
[00:26:13] NATO and relying on the US there, the
[00:26:16] so-called approach to security in Europe, it
[00:26:19] affects South Korea, it affects Japan, it affects so many countries, and of
[00:26:23] course the the the arab states the Persian gulf, so
[00:26:27] that sort of reconsideration I think is really starting to reshape the
[00:26:31] world. actually and it's it's a one the additional signs
[00:26:35] the decline the dominance the US in the
[00:26:38] world, definitely, ladies and gents, I would like to
