Pakistan has reportedly told Iran that it must pressure the Houthi movement in Yemen to halt its attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea, according to a report.
Pakistan has reportedly urged Iran to press the Houthis to end their Red Sea attacks. The diplomatic message reflects growing regional concern over Houthi maritime threats. The Zioneer has previously reported on Pakistan's warnings that it would use military force to protect its ships from Houthi attacks (July 22) and on its preparations for possible military action (July 16). The Houthi campaign has disrupted Red Sea shipping, drawing international condemnation. It remains unclear how Tehran will respond to the Pakistani request.
