Al-Zindani: Houthi attacks in Red Sea are implementation of Iran's agenda to destabilize region's security
ADEN: Yemeni Prime Minister Shaya Zindani said on Sunday that the Houthi group’s continued targeting of commercial ships and threatening the security of the Red Sea and international shipping lanes “reaffirms that it is implementing Iran’s agenda to destabilize the region and undermine international maritime security.”
Zindani added in a post on X that these practices “are not only paid for by Yemenis, but their repercussions extend to the region and the world, by threatening freedom of navigation, supply chains and international trade, and undermining UN, regional and international efforts aimed at establishing peace and stability.”
He stressed that “protecting freedom of navigation and the security of maritime routes is a collective responsibility,” and called on the international community to “take a more firm and deterrent stance towards Houthi terrorist behavior, dry up its sources of support and prevent it from continuing to threaten regional and international interests.”
He said his government “will continue to work in close coordination with the Coalition to Support Legitimacy, led by our brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its partners in the international community, to confront these threats, protect the security of navigation, and support efforts to consolidate security and stability, restore state institutions, and preserve the sovereignty of Yemen.”
