G7 Calls on Iran to Stop Arming Houthis as Saudi Attacks Continue

LONDON, Sept 22: G7 foreign ministers on Monday condemned what they called the “unacceptable continued strikes” launched from Yemen against Saudi Arabia and urged the Iran-backed Houthi group to immediately cease all military actions.

“We call on the Houthis to immediately cease all military actions, all threats and attacks against civilian shipping, and to return to the political process in good faith,” the foreign ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States said in a statement.

The G7 ministers also called on Iran to end its arming of and support for the Houthis, alleging that Tehran is in violation of past UN Security Council resolutions.

The statement comes amid continued regional tensions and attacks launched by the Houthis from Yemen, including threats and attacks affecting civilian shipping.
