Bahrain urges ‘firm’ UN Security Council response to Houthi and Iranian ‘blackmail’ attacks

NEW YORK CITY: Bahrain’s ambassador to the UN, Jamal Fares Alrowaiei, told the Security Council on Tuesday that Houthi attacks that threaten navigation in the Bab Al-Mandab Strait and the Red Sea, and Iranian strikes that affect freedom of passage through the Strait of Hormuz, amount to “a form of blackmail” that demands a firm response. “All of these attacks require the council to take a very firm stance to ensure navigational security and freedom of passage in maritime corridors,” he said.
