Episode notes
US Airstrikes Ineffective in Yemen
- The U.S. has launched 750 airstrikes on Yemen since mid-March 2025 with little impact on Houthi military capabilities.
- The bombing has failed to deter attacks and increased anti-American and anti-Israeli activities in the Red Sea region.
Senate Dems Challenge Civilian Bombing
- Senate Democrats acknowledge high civilian casualties from US airstrikes in Yemen but stop short of opposing the campaign.
- The civilian death toll is likely underreported, raising serious legal and ethical questions about the campaign's conduct.
Trump's $100B Arms Offer to Saudis
- Trump plans to offer Saudi Arabia an over $100 billion arms package during his May visit to secure normalization with Israel.
- Saudis continue to avoid direct involvement in Yemen's war but back the government in exile and could escalate conflict if attacked by Houthis.
