International Call to Halt Arms Flow to Houthi Rebels After UN Warning

Following the UN Security Council’s recent resolution, the Yemeni foreign ministry appealed to the global community to tighten restrictions on weapon deliveries to the Iran‑backed Houthi rebels. The statement underscored that the Council’s focus on the illegal landing of Iranian planes at Sana’a and Hodeidah airports reflects a broader concern for Yemen’s sovereignty. By reinforcing official Yemeni institutions and enhancing their operational capabilities, the ministry believes the nation can better safeguard its coastline, exclusive economic zone, and the strategic maritime routes of the Red Sea. The appeal aligns with calls for stronger enforcement of arms embargoes and tighter monitoring of military technology transfers.
