  "account": "The UN Security Council condemned on Friday the escalating attacks by Yemeni Houthi rebels on Saudi Arabia, asserting the importance of adhering to international law. The Houthis have imposed a naval blockade, resulting in the seizure of vital oil export routes and contributing to rising energy costs. The council's president, French envoy Jerome Bonnafont, emphasized the severity of the situation, stating that Houthi attacks against civilian and energy infrastructure have led to civilian injuries, including women and children. The Security Council demanded an immediate halt to the Houthi military escalation and called for respect for navigation rights and freedoms. Houthi gains in recent weeks have solidified Iran and its allies' control over critical Gulf waterways, which are essential for Saudi Arabia's oil exports. The UN's humanitarian chief, Barham Salih, expressed concern over the displacement of thousands of Yemeni civilians due to the conflict. The Security Council urged for unhindered humanitarian access to all those in need, and Washington and its allies blame Iran for supporting the Houthi rebels, a claim Iran denies.",
  "summary": "The Houthis have blockaded Saudi Arabia, attacking tankers, seizing parts of Yemen’s Red Sea coast and launching missiles at the kingdom.",
