Deep Dive: A patch of sea between Yemen and Saudi Arabia has become the Middle East's newest flashpoint. Iran-backed Houthi rebels have swept down Yemen's coast and now sit within reach of a shipping lane the whole world leans on.

Saudi Arabia is bombing back.

Missiles, drones, and tens of thousands of people have been forced to run.

So how did a rebel group end up with its hand on a valve of the global economy, and how much worse could this get?

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou is joined by Jessica Genauer, Associate Professor in International Relations at UNSW, to explain who the Houthis really are, why the US is staying on the sidelines and what it all means for the price you pay at the bowser.
