From the transcript

The Red Sea is under siege. A critical maritime shipping route that's long been absolutely essential to global trade, the Red Sea, as well as the nearby Gulf of Aden, have been blockaded for nearly six months now by a military force that can wre ak havoc across the water without deploying a single ship.

The perpetrators behind the blockade are the Houthi rebel organisation, a powerful and growing movement inside the coastal Arab nation of Yemen, the counts among its allies not just Yemeni civilians, but the powerful nearby nation of Iran.

As war rages across the occupied territory of Gaza, down the shores of the Mediterranean, the Houthis have chosen to make their own bold play and solidarity with their and Iran's mutual ally, the Hamas organisation.
