Britain calls on China to pressure Iran to stop Houthi piracy
British Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, called on China to use its influence over Iran to pressure the Iranian-backed Houthi militia to stop piracy in the Red Sea.
The British Maritime Trade Authority received reports yesterday, Friday, that a ship had been hit by a missile attack launched by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia, from areas under its control.
It confirmed in a statement that the Houthi attack targeted a ship in the Red Sea, 72 nautical miles northwest of the city of Mokha.
