UN Security Council to discuss Houthi takeover of Yemen’s Red Sea coast
France requested the briefing after the Iran-backed terror group seized control of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
The UN Security Council was scheduled to meet on Tuesday to discuss the Houthi takeover of Yemen's Red Sea coast and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a crucial shipping route. France requested the briefing due to the escalating situation. Concurrently, Saudi Arabia issued air-raid alerts in Mecca and other cities amid intensified Houthi attacks, though authorities later gave an all-clear. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met with U.S. Central Command chief Adm. Brad Cooper to discuss regional developments as Houthi attacks increased. U.S. Vice President JD Vance stated the U.S. is "very much on top of" Houthi activity, maintaining contact with regional allies and direct conversations with the Houthis. Additionally, talks between Persian Gulf states and Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz have been postponed due to the situation in Yemen.
