The Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s (OIC) permanent representatives condemned in the strongest terms on Wednesday the attack by the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen on two Saudi oil tankers in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait in July, reported the Saudi Press Agency. They made their statement at the conclusion of their meeting held at the headquarters of the OICs General Secretariat in Jeddah. They said that the attack was a flagrant violation of all international laws and norms and a serious threat to international navigation. In addition, they accused the Houthis of planting hundreds of naval mines that can harm the interests of the countries of the region and the entire world. They condemned such practices, warning of the possible disastrous environmental and economic repercussions of oil spills in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and Red Sea. They called on the international community to condemn these attacks and to counter all serious terrorist acts by the Houthis and their supporters. They demanded that the necessary measures be taken to prevent the recurrence of such hostile actions in the future. The OIC representative expressed full solidarity with Saudi Arabia in all the measures it takes to protect its resources, security and stability. They also affirmed support for the efforts of the Coalition in Support of Legitimacy in Yemen aimed at taking all necessary measures to secure maritime navigation and trade in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and Red Sea. They also called on the United Nations Security Council to take all possible steps to ensure the prompt and full implementation of its two resolutions 2216 and 2231 to prevent the escalation of Houthi attacks. The Houthis and their Iranian sponsors must be held accountable for their countless crimes against international law.
