> Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council Chairman Rashad Al-Alimi called for stronger international cooperation to protect the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and prevent the Hormuz crisis from being repeated there. He accused Iran of using Houthi military operations to shift the conflict’s burden onto neighboring countries, warning of risks to fuel and food supplies. A Houthi spokesman said Red Sea trade remains safe and stable and described the operations as limited and defensive.
