In this episode of "The Story Behind", we examine the rapidly escalating US-Iran-Houthi conflict and its growing impact on regional security, global energy routes, and international diplomacy.

Air Commodore (R) Khalid Chishti joins us to discuss the latest developments in the Red Sea, Saudi Arabia's strikes on Houthi positions, Pakistan Navy's maritime preparedness, and Pakistan's emerging role as a potential mediator between Washington and Tehran amid China's diplomatic push.

In our What's Trending segment, we explore India's viral Cockroach Janata Party movement and how a satirical Gen-Z protest transformed into a nationwide student uprising.

We look at the resignation of India's Education Minister, the movement's demands for education reforms, and whether the protests have become the first major political challenge to the Modi government.
