The foreign ministers of the Group of Seven (G7) stated in a joint statement that the arming of the Houthis in Yemen by Iran is not only a threat to regional stability but could also jeopardize global energy security. The ministers emphasized that these actions must be stopped immediately.
Security Threats from Arming the Houthis
The Houthis, also known as Ansar Allah, have significantly increased their military power in recent years with Iranian military support. This group has played an active role in the Yemen war, which began in 2014, and has raised security concerns with its missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia and other countries. The G7 foreign ministers noted that this situation has not only exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in Yemen but has also led to instability throughout the region.
