President Masoud Pezeshkian of Iran will attend, with President Abbas addressing the event via video. Houthi rebels in Yemen have been in indirect contact with US officials to reassure Washington that their control of the Red Sea coast near the Bab Al Mandeb strait will not result in attacks on American vessels.
