The US war against Iran is expanding into a regional conflict. Saudi Arabia restarted its war in Yemen against the Houthis (officially known as Ansarallah), the political movement that governs 80% of the Yemeni population. Pakistan and Turkey (Türkiye) have joined the war. Syria supports it. Ben Norton explains how this crisis is growing, why the Donald Trump administration is fueling it, and how it is further destabilizing the oil market and global economy.
