UK reaffirms strong support for Saudi Arabia amid Houthi threats

The United Kingdom has strongly condemned recent threats made by the Houthi group against Saudi Arabia, including what it described as plans to impose a maritime blockade.

The British Foreign Office issued a series of strongly worded messages to the Houthis, calling for an immediate halt to all escalatory actions.

In a statement, the Foreign Office affirmed that London stands firmly with Saudi Arabia in the face of any threats to its security and stability.

The Foreign Office also stressed that repeated provocations by the Houthis are putting freedom of navigation and international trade in the Red Sea at direct risk, calling for a robust international response to curb these violations and protect vital waterways.
