"Global Coalition Takes Stand Against Houthi Threats to Red Sea Trade Routes"
Twelve nations, including the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom, have issued a joint statement condemning the Houthi attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea, emphasizing the illegality and destabilizing effects of such actions. The statement highlights the critical importance of the Red Sea for global trade, noting that a significant portion of the world's seaborne trade, including essential commodities like grain and oil, passes through this waterway. The countries call for an immediate end to these attacks and the release of detained vessels and crews, warning of the consequences for continued aggression and reaffirming their commitment to the international rules-based order.
