Craig Mokhiber, a human rights lawyer, joins the show to discuss the US’s airstrikes on Yemen. Trump’s bombardment follows Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement's resumption of its blockade of Israel-bound ships in the Red Sea – a solidarity action for Gaza after Israel choked off all aid. Mokhiber explains how according to international law, all nations are expected to cut ties with the Israeli occupation and act to prevent genocide– yet the US is bombing Yemen for doing precisely that.
Jackson Hinkle Official Saudi Arabia's Civil Aviation Authority now confirms that 12 people were killed and 309 injured in Yemen's strike on King Khalid International Airport. Then the strikes kept coming: Terminal 4 in Riyadh, two hits on Dammam's King Fahd airport in 24 hours, Abha, and reports of eight Saudi airports closing. Saudi Airlines is now racing to move billions of dollars' worth of planes out of harm's way, the Misk Global Forum has been cancelled, and the EU–GCC summit has been postponed. After Saudi Arabia struck Yemeni oil fields, Ansarallah issued evacuation warnings for Aramco's Dhahran headquarters, its main Riyadh refinery and King Khalid airport, and footage then showed the Aramco HQ on fire. Now Riyadh is asking for talks in Oman, Trump says nothing happens until after the midterms, and Hinkle shares what the Yemeni delegation went through to reach Iran for the funeral of Sayyed Ali Khamenei.
