will hold Iran responsible and, quote, major military punishment will be inflicted upon Iran. voice-verified

So does what's happening in the Red Sea actually change the dynamics of this war? voice-verified

For this, I'm going to bring in NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel. voice-verified

Hi, Richard. voice-verified

I'm good. voice-verified

It's great to have you, Richard. voice-verified

So we've been talking a lot about the Strait of Hormuz for the last couple of months and the blockade in the Strait and how that is impacting the world economy. voice-verified

But now the Houthis are trying to enforce this blockade within the Red Sea, which is another very significant shipping route in the region. voice-verified

What do we know about the attacks the Houthis carried out this week? voice-verified

So effectively, the Houthis right now are acting as a proxy for Iran and helping choke out the Red Sea and feeling as if or saying potentially that, you know, the United States is not necessarily holding up its end of the bargain that they had negotiated in the Memorandum of Understanding, which feels like 10 million years ago at this point. voice-verified

But why specifically was Saudi targeted, Richard? voice-verified

Then the United States and the president announced a deal with Saudi Arabia to allow them to develop a civilian nuclear program without necessarily the same restrictions, for instance, that the United Arab Emirates has in place for their civilian nuclear program. voice-verified

Less than 24 hours later, the president says that the deal's not on unless Saudi signs the Abraham Accords, which essentially means normalizing relations with Israel. voice-verified

And then right after that, a statement was issued by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying essentially that would be a great idea. voice-verified

That's a great idea. voice-verified

And the question was, did Netanyahu and Trump speak after the announcement of the Saudi deal? voice-verified

And correct me if I'm wrong, but Saudi is not in any position to sign the Abraham Accords right now. voice-verified

Richard Engel, thank you. voice-verified

All right, coming up, why is the GOAT, the best of them all, the king, taking his talents to the Philadelphia 76ers for two years, but only $8 million? voice-verified

That's after a quick break. voice-verified
