Dr Andreas Krieg of King's College London on the context of the attack on the tanker BW Rhine in Jeddah Port, Saudi Arabia. "This is a serious breach of security that begs the question for why authorities were unable to thwart the attack in the first place. If it was indeed a low-tech attack by Houthis with a bomb-laden boat, as Saudi authorities claim, they should have been able to thwart it. But maybe it was a sticky mine delivered by professional Iranian squads, which would be far more sophisticated."
