G7 tells Iran to stop arming Yemen's Houthis before UN Assembly

bbc.com (French)

The G7 foreign ministers demanded Iran stop supplying weapons and support to Yemen's Houthi rebels, condemning their attacks on Saudi Arabia as a threat to global energy security. The statement precedes the UN General Assembly. The ministers urged the Houthis to cease military actions and attacks on civilian shipping, backing Yemen's legitimate government. The escalation follows Houthi territorial gains along the Red Sea, including near the Bab el-Mandeb strait, displacing over 120,000 people. Iran denies arming the Houthis, but UN experts and Western powers cite intercepted weapons shipments. Saudi airstrikes killed at least six in Mokha, while the UK and France offered defensive support to Riyadh.
