Yemen Warns of Houthi Threat to Red Sea Aviation
The article summarizes the internationally recognized Yemeni government's warning of a serious threat to the safety and security of international civil aviation over the southern Red Sea. This risk arises from the use of Iranian-origin weapons by the Houthis, launched from areas under their control, especially modified air defense systems affiliated with Iran's Revolutionary Guard. These weapons pose an imminent danger to civilian aircraft, including United Nations and humanitarian flights, due to their thermal tracking capabilities and modifications that enable them to stay airborne for up to 25 minutes. The government calls for urgent international action to enforce an arms embargo and monitor arms transfer activities, in addition to the necessity of risk assessment in collaboration with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). It also reaffirmed Iran’s continued support for the militia in developing these capabilities, which threaten both maritime and aerial navigation. The government urges immediate international steps to prevent the proliferation of these weapons and to hold accountable those supplying the militia.
