Iran / Yemen / Saudi Arabia

Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven called on Iran to stop supplying and supporting Houthi forces in Yemen. In a joint statement issued during the UN General Assembly, they condemned Houthi military operations, including attacks affecting Saudi Arabia and civilian shipping.

The statement reflects growing international concern that the Yemen conflict is widening into a broader regional security and shipping crisis. Iran has also said it could reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the United States eases military pressure and lifts its blockade, although the situation remains uncertain and negotiations have not produced a settlement.
