UK foreign secretary urges Iran to halt support for Houthi militia in Yemen

UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron on Wednesday said he had spoken with his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and urged Tehran to stop backing Houthi militia in Yemen.

“Iran must cease supplying the Houthis with weapons and intelligence and use its influence to stop Houthi attacks in the Red Sea,” Cameron, attending the World Economic Forum, wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

“Iran must also stop using the regional situation as cover to act recklessly and violate others’ sovereignty. I made this clear to FM @Amirabdolahian.”
