Former senior British military commander to US Central Command, Major General Chip Chapman, breaks down the escalating crisis in the Middle East as Houthi forces secure control over Perim Island and the port of Mokha. With Brent crude surging past $104 a barrel, Chip explains how Iran and its proxies are executing a 'triple blockade' across the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb strait, seizing escalation control from the West. He assesses the military options remaining for US Central Command, the strategic dilemma facing Saudi Arabia following the Mecca Agreement, and why ground operations in Yemen remain a deadly trap for foreign powers.
