G7 leaders condemn Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia
G7 leaders, including Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, have condemned Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia, urging the Yemeni rebels to cease all military actions. The Houthi movement has taken control of Yemen's entire Red Sea coast, threatening global trade and energy prices. Their advances have solidified Iran's influence over two vital waterways, the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, crucial for Saudi Arabia's oil exports.
G7 nations also called on Iran to end its support for the Houthis, alleging Tehran's violation of past UN Security Council resolutions. The Saudi-led coalition against the Houthis resumed the war in July, leading to airstrikes on the strategic Red Sea port of Mokha, resulting in casualties. Britain and France have pledged military support to Saudi Arabia, while Pakistan and Turkey signed a defense agreement with Saudi Arabia amid tensions with Iran.
