Gulf Today
|November 16, 2025
The UN Security Council called for an end to cross-border and maritime attacks by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels and urged member states to beef up efforts to implement an arms embargo against them.
-
In a resolution renewing sanctions against the group, the Council condemned the attacks and demanded an end to all such actions, “including those against infrastructure and civilian targets.”
The text was adopted in a 13-0 vote, with permanent members China and Russia abstaining.
Targeted sanctions were extended until November 14, 2026, including a freezing of assets and travel bans currently in place against about 10 people, most of them high-ranking Houthi officials and the group as a whole.
