The US has reinstated Yemen's Houthi movement as a foreign terrorist organization, a designation initially made by Donald Trump. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that this designation ensures sanctions against those aiding the group, which poses risks to US civilians and allies in the Middle East. The decision follows a prior reversal by the Biden administration, which prioritized humanitarian concerns despite ongoing Houthi aggression against US navy and commercial interests. The reinstatement marks a shift towards a tougher US policy intended to disrupt Houthi operations and safeguard maritime security.
The United States will not tolerate any country engaging with terrorist organizations like the Houthis in the name of practising legitimate international business.
Biden's weak policy had resulted in the Houthis firing on US Navy warships dozens of times and attacking civilian infrastructure in partner nations.
