Preview: Who is to blame for the war in Yemen?

Nobel Laureate Tawakkol Karman denies supporting the Saudi-led air campaign in Yemen.

With Yemen engulfed in conflict, Nobel Laureate Tawakkol Karman blames the Houthi rebels for the ongoing civil war in the country and says Iran is orchestrating their role in the conflict.

In this Headliner preview, Karman tells Mehdi Hasan that she is “against all the crimes that happen in Yemen against the civilians”.  

When asked specifically about whether she supported the Saudi coalition bombing in the country, Karman says, “Bombing? No, no, no, of course, no.”

“We don’t want war,” she adds.
