Leaders of the world's wealthiest economies issued a joint communiqué urging Tehran to cut off the flow of weapons to rebels in Yemen. The joint statement classifies Houthi strikes within Yemen and against Saudi Arabia as unacceptable and requires the group to halt all threats and military operations targeting civilian vessels.

The declaration cites UN Security Council resolutions and warns that Iranian actions jeopardize international trade and global energy security. Released after a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly among foreign ministers from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States, the G7 statement notes that the current situation risks triggering greater economic instability.
