China asks Iran to rein in Houthis after Saudi appeal

–

Neutral summary

China has privately asked Iran to help curb Yemen's Houthis after Saudi Arabia appealed to Beijing for assistance amid the group's military advance, according to Reuters, citing Iranian sources. The Houthis have brought the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait under their control, threatening vital shipping lanes and oil routes. Tehran responded that regional stability depends on ending the war with the US and Israel. The escalation endangers two of the Middle East's most important oil passages — through Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb.
