G7 foreign ministers have called on Iran to stop supporting and arming the Houthi rebels in Yemen, citing the ongoing conflict as a threat to regional stability. The ministers condemned recent Houthi strikes against Saudi Arabia and Yemen, emphasizing the need for de-escalation.
The UK has announced it will provide limited military support to Saudi Arabia by refueling its jets to counter Houthi attacks. Prime Minister Andy Burnham confirmed the decision, stating the support will involve a single British aircraft based at RAF Akrotiri. This move comes amid reports of widespread displacement and casualties in Yemen due to the conflict.
Aid teams are currently assisting displaced people at Al-Firdaws camp, where thousands have been forced to flee fighting between Houthi rebels and government forces. The situation has worsened as attacks continue, with both sides accused of escalating violence.
The G7’s call for Iran to halt its involvement in the conflict highlights growing international concern over the humanitarian crisis and regional security risks.
