## Resource

CRITICAL GEOPOLITICAL UPDATE: West Asia is on the brink as the Yemeni Armed Forces announce a total maritime blockade of Saudi Arabia. In this interview, we break down the July 2026 escalation, including a failed mediation deadline set by Iran and China. With trust in the US at zero, Tehran is systematically targeting American bases across Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait with devastating precision, aided by advanced Chinese satellite technology. Discover the coordinated "attrition" strategy of the Axis of Resistance, the US administration's contradictory push for both war and negotiation, and the high-stakes showdown that could redefine the 21st-century global order. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
