Yemen’s Prime Minister Shaeed Mohsen al-Zandani says the Houthi militia’s continued targeting of commercial vessels and threats to Red Sea security demonstrate it’s executing an Iranian agenda, Al Jazeera reports.
In a post on X, al-Zandani said the attacks jeopardise freedom of navigation, disrupt global supply chains and trade, and undermine UN regional and international peace efforts.
“The protection of freedom of navigation and maritime security is a collective responsibility,” the prime minister said, calling on the international community to take a firmer stance to deter Houthi behaviour and dry up its sources of support.
Al-Zandani also stressed that his government will continue close coordination with the Saudi-led coalition supporting Yemen’s “legitimate government”.
