Story summary

On September 21, 2026, the G7 foreign ministers issued a joint statement condemning Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia and urged them to cease all military actions immediately. The statement also called on Iran to stop supporting and arming the Houthis, alleging that Tehran's actions violate past UN Security Council resolutions. This comes amid escalating tensions as the Houthis have recently seized territory along Yemen’s Red Sea coastline, including near the strategically important Bab al-Mandab Strait. The G7 meeting occurred ahead of the annual United Nations General Assembly in New York City. Additionally, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced that the UK will provide "defensive" air-to-air refueling support to Saudi Arabia, involving a single RAF Voyager aircraft based out of RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus.
