Fears that New Zealand's military involvement in the fight against Houthi rebels in Yemen could close diplomatic doors. Â
Six personnel are being deployed to the Red Sea to support coalition forces carrying out precision attacks on Iran-backed groups who have been attacking commercial shipping.Â
Geopolitical Analyst Geoffrey Miller says several US presidents have bombed Yemen and haven't solved the problem. Â
He told Roman Travers that the Houthi attacks are tied to the war in Gaza and that should be our focus. Â
Miller says New Zealand would be better served in assisting in diplomacy to get a ceasefire. Â
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says the two issues shouldn't be conflated. Â
