G7 foreign ministers call on Iran to stop arming Houthis

The ministers said Iran’s backing of the Houthis risks global trade and instability as the group steps up attacks on Saudi Arabia and shipping.

  • On Monday, foreign ministers from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States called on Iran to end its arming of Houthis, warning that this pattern of escalation risks undermining international trade and global stability.
  • Tensions intensified after Houthi supporters rallied in Sanaa on Sept 18 to celebrate recent advances along the Red Sea coastline, demonstrating operational challenges facing the region.
  • The ministers condemned the 'unacceptable continued strikes' against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, urging the group to immediately cease all military actions and threats against civilian shipping.
  • Accusing Tehran of violating past United Nations Security Council resolutions, the ministers demanded the group return to the political process in good faith to resolve the crisis.
  • This coordinated diplomatic effort indicates the ministers' concerns extend beyond maritime shipping, reflecting broader fears that the conflict in Yemen could further destabilize regional security.
