Foreign ministers representing the G7 nations have collectively demanded that the Houthi movement immediately halt its ongoing strikes against maritime shipping in the region surrounding Saudi Arabia. The statement serves as a formal diplomatic push to secure the safety of commercial vessels, which have faced repeated threats and disruptions due to the group's military activities.

In addition to the demand directed at the Houthis, the G7 ministers explicitly called upon Iran to cease its provision of weaponry and logistical support to the Yemeni group. The ministers characterized the Houthi actions as a significant threat to global maritime security and regional stability. While the G7 statement emphasizes the need for a de-escalation of violence, it does not detail specific enforcement mechanisms or potential consequences should the demands go unheeded. The call reflects a broader international concern regarding the impact of these strikes on global trade routes and the ongoing conflict in Yemen.
