Reuters: China Asked Iran to Limit Houthis
China secretly requested Iran's assistance in curbing the Houthi group in Yemen after Saudi Arabia appealed to Beijing following the group's military attack last week. The rapid movements of the Houthis along the Red Sea coast and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait pose a threat to Saudi oil exports and shipping traffic, despite China's public calls for restraint and dialogue. Iranian sources clarified that the Chinese message went beyond public statements, and it is unclear whether it was conveyed during the Iranian Foreign Minister's visit to China.
