China Urges Iran to Curb Houthis as Russia and China Veto UN Iran Resolution

China has asked Iran to help rein in the Houthis following an appeal from Saudi Arabia, according to multiple reports. In a separate but related move, Russia and China vetoed a US-backed UN Security Council resolution on Iran, a decision praised by Tehran. The veto occurred during a contentious UNSC session. The Houthis, an Iran-aligned group in Yemen, have been involved in regional attacks, prompting Saudi Arabia to seek China's assistance.
