Russia says the United States should stop strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen to aid a diplomatic resolution to the standoff over the terror group’s attacks on merchant vessels.

“The most important thing now is to stop the aggression against Yemen, because the more the Americans and the British bomb, the less willing the Houthis are to talk,” Lavrov tells reporters in Moscow.
