What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi traveled to New York for the UN General Assembly amid heightened regional tensions. Concurrently, oil prices rose following missile and drone strikes by the Iran-backed Houthis on the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. The escalation led to the declaration of a maritime blockade and the seizure of Yemen's Red Sea coast. Leaders from Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia subsequently met in New York to discuss ways to support the kingdom.
