In Yemen, Vice President of the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) Tariq Saleh has called on the international community to bolster support for the Yemeni government in countering threats posed by the Houthi militias. He made these remarks during a video meeting with the U.S. Ambassador to Yemen, Steven Fagin. During the meeting, Saleh warned that Yemen is being used by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps as a base for its activities. He stressed the need for the world to turn its concern into real support for Yemen’s legitimate government.

On the other hand, Ambassador Fagin reaffirmed the United States’ support for the PLC and said the U.S. will continue targeting Houthi military operations until their threats to Red Sea maritime security stop. He also highlighted the importance of unity in facing Yemen’s ongoing security and humanitarian challenges.
