Top Yemeni Journalist: Saudi Arabia Could Lose Territory to Ansarallah

Top Yemeni Journalist: Saudi Arabia Could Lose Territory to Ansarallah
Q: What would you advise the Crown Prince to do at this moment in the conflict?
The guest suggests avoiding a major escalation by not breaking ceasefire commitments, while pressing for lifting the blockade, open Sana'a airport, and addressing Yemen's humanitarian needs as leverage.
Imran Khan’s Health, Iran Under Sanctions
Q: What is the current state of Imran Khan's health and imprisonment, and what are the potential political consequences if his condition worsens?
Waqas Ahmed outlines that Khan's health has deteriorated due to solitary confinement and denial of basic rights; there is fear he could die in prison which could trigger major political unrest and intensify pressures on the military and governing elites.
Hormuz at Breaking Point and Remembering Journalists Killed in Gaza
Q: What happened on the one-year anniversary of Anas Sharif's killing, and how are journalists in Gaza coping?
The discussion describes vigils and ongoing threats to journalists, casualties among Al Jazeera staff, and broader concerns about press freedom and safety in Gaza, including layoffs and external pressures on media outlets.
Hormuz at Breaking Point and Remembering Journalists Killed in Gaza
Q: How do global oil markets respond to continued disruption of Hormuz and related sanctions?
Oil markets have shown resilience due to alternative routes and lowered demand in some regions, with prices stabilizing around a range that reflects supply-side adjustments rather than a spike purely from Hormuz disruption.
