G7 foreign ministers call on Iran to end its arming and support for the Houthis in Yemen, and they condemn Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia “in the strongest terms.” The ministers say the strikes and the broader pattern of escalation raise risks for regional security.
In their statement issued ahead of the UN General Assembly, the G7 also urges the Houthis to immediately cease their strikes. Reuters reports the ministers frame the issue as one that could undermine international trade and contribute to wider global instability, while other outlets emphasize the call for immediate cessation of attacks targeting Saudi Arabia.
Across the reports, the common points are that the G7 links Iran’s support for the Houthis to escalation in Yemen and the risk posed by cross-border strikes, and it presses both Iran and the Houthis to stop actions that heighten conflict. The differences are mainly in emphasis—some highlight threats to trade and global stability, others focus more directly on Saudi Arabia and the demand that strikes stop immediately.
