G7 urges Iran to halt arms supplies to Yemen's Houthis

The Group of Seven (G7) issued a joint statement condemning, in the strongest terms, recent Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, emphasizing that the intensifying conflict in Yemen threatens global energy security. The declaration, released during a summit of the world's leading industrialized nations, highlighted the strategic importance of the Red Sea and the Bab el‑Mandeb strait for the uninterrupted flow of oil and liquefied natural gas to international markets.

In its statement, the G7 called for an immediate de‑escalation of hostilities and urged all parties to respect international law and protect civilian infrastructure. The coalition warned that continued fighting could disrupt supply chains, elevate energy prices, and undermine economic stability worldwide, urging diplomatic efforts to achieve a sustainable resolution to the Yemeni crisis.
