Al Jazeera interviews Trita Parsi, Executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, about Iran’s mediation efforts in Yemen and escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington.
Parsi explains why Iran is seeking to prevent a wider regional war, while stressing that Yemen’s Houthi movement, also known as Ansar Allah, operates independently and does not always follow Tehran’s advice. He also examines Saudi-Iranian normalisation, the possibility of further US escalation after the midterm elections, and the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz.
Parsi warns that the relative calm in the Strait of Hormuz may not last, raising concerns about the risk of renewed regional conflict.
