"US and Allies Warn Houthis of 'Consequences' for Escalating Red Sea Ship Attacks"

The United States urged the UN Security Council to take immediate action against Houthi rebels for attacking ships in the Red Sea, implicating Iran for supporting the rebels with advanced weaponry in violation of UN sanctions. The attacks have disrupted global trade, with some companies rerouting vessels to avoid the area, increasing shipping times and costs. A US draft resolution seeks to condemn the attacks and enforce an arms embargo on the Houthis. While there is broad condemnation of the Houthi actions, Russia emphasizes the need to address the underlying conflicts in Yemen and Gaza to prevent further escalation.
