German FM Wadephul warns Iran, Houthis are 'holding global trade hostage' amid Red Sea attacks
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stated that Iran and Houthi militias are 'holding global trade hostage' by continuing to strangle the world's energy and fertilizer supplies through indiscriminate attacks on shipping and neighboring countries. He emphasized the need for closer international cooperation to address the US-Iran confrontation, the Yemen conflict, and Russia’s attacks on Black Sea grain shipments, calling for joint action to protect international shipping routes. Wadephul warned that delays in fertilizer deliveries could lead to famine in several parts of the world.
