The Heat: Middle East Crisis | Conflict spreads

Iran and the US have not held any substantive talks since the Memorandum of Understanding collapsed in July.

On Tuesday, Tehran said there will be no talks until its conditions are met. Those conditions include the US lifting its naval blockade and economic sanctions, releasing Iranian frozen assets and ending Israel’s attacks on Lebanon and Gaza.

Meanwhile, the Houthis in Yemen have made significant advances in recent weeks by seizing the port city of Mokha and several islands along the Red Sea. #Iran #SaudiArabia #Yemen #Houthis #RedSea #MiddleEast
