Yemen's FM Highlights Bahrain's Maritime Role
Yemen's Foreign Minister, Dr. Afrah Al-Zuba, confirmed that the Houthi attacks and threats to maritime navigation in Bab al-Mandab, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden pose a serious threat to freedom of navigation, regional security, and global stability—especially in light of Iran’s coordination to target the flow of fuel and goods worldwide. She clarified that continued Iranian support for the Houthis is not sufficient to achieve peace, and that a true solution requires disarming the militias and transforming them into a political process, as well as establishing full government control over Yemeni territory and supporting its institutions. She emphasized the importance of backing Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the Gulf in maintaining Yemeni unity and safeguarding maritime corridors, which serve as vital arteries of trade and energy between the East and West. Additionally, she highlighted the necessity of enhancing Yemen’s capabilities to defend its borders and ports. She also stressed that ongoing conflict causes significant harm to Yemeni citizens by worsening humanitarian and economic conditions, asserting that a sustainable solution lies in restoring state authority, unifying institutions, and rebuilding them based on law and citizenship. Dr. Al-Zuba explained that the relationship between the Houthis and Iran is characterized by cooperation, with Iran providing military and technical support to the Houthis, prolonging the conflict and complicating the political solution. She stated that any negotiations require Iran to change its behavior and halt its military support. She affirmed that border security and the safety of maritime navigation are regional and international interests, and that empowering the Yemeni government and coast guard are essential to enhancing stability. She also highlighted the important role of the international community and the United Nations in enforcing Security Council resolutions and stopping the smuggling of weapons and military equipment. She expressed her rejection of any recurrence of the crisis and confirmed that a genuine solution must be a comprehensive political settlement that restores Yemen’s unity and sovereignty, relying on dialogue and civil institutions. Furthermore, she called for an end to Iran’s support for the Houthi militias to enable Yemen to restore its security and stability.
