G7 gesa Iran henti sokongan ketenteraan kepada Houthi

G7 foreign ministers on Monday strongly urged Iran to cease the military support provided to the Houthi rebels in Yemen, warning that continued assistance could further exacerbate regional tensions and threaten global maritime stability. In a statement following a meeting outside the UN General Assembly, the British, Canadian, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and American foreign ministers condemned ongoing Houthi attacks on Yemen and Saudi Arabia, urging all parties to avoid actions that could undermine regional stability or disrupt vital maritime trade.

The G7 also called for Iran to immediately halt its attacks and emphasized the importance of protecting maritime routes and freedom of navigation, including in the Strait of Hormuz and other strategic waterways. They stressed the need to safeguard global supply chains and energy market stability. The group of ministers also expressed solidarity with nations facing attacks by Iran or Iran-backed groups, stating that such nations have the right to defend their territory and protect their people.

The foreign ministers further supported the right of self-defense for any nation attacked unjustly by Iran or its Iranian proxies, while reiterating their commitment to maintaining the security, sovereignty, and integrity of affected nations. The G7 reiterated their opposition to Iran acquiring nuclear weapons and urged Tehran to cease its long-range missile program and any destabilizing activities in the region and beyond.

The group also condemned Iran's attack on Iraq and its Iranian-backed militia against diplomatic facilities, energy infrastructure, and US and anti-IS coalition troops in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
