TEASER: The Shockingly Sophisticated Arsenal of the Houthis

Yemen has become a battlefield of technological firsts. The Houthis have turned the Red Sea into a proving ground for Iranian weapons, and Tehran is learning what works and what doesn’t. It’s become a place where the Khamenei and his crew can test new technologies and new strategies. It’s a win for Iran and a win for the Houthis in the short-term, but missiles on their own don’t win wars.


On this bonus episode of Angry Planet, Fabian Hinz of the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London comes on to tell us about the technological capabilities of the Houthis.


Recorded on 3/21/24


  • A quick and dirty history of the Houthi movement
  • Its mysterious founder
  • Jason learns about lasers
  • Matthew learns about Manhattan allergies
