US designates Yemen's Houthis as "foreign terrorist organization" again

ai generated text

The designation was previously lifted in January, but has since been reinstated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who stated that the designation carries sanctions and penalties. The Houthis have engaged in a campaign of violence that they describe as an act of solidarity with Hamas, targeting more than 100 merchant ships in the critical Red Sea trade corridor with missiles and drones.

    White House
    1. Under President Trump, it is now the policy of the United States to cooperate with its regional partners to eliminate the Houthis' capabilities and operations, deprive them of resources, and thereby end their attacks on US personnel and civilians, US partners, and maritime shipping in the Red Sea.

    Marco Rubio
    Republican Party
    1. The Houthis' activities threaten the security of American civilians and personnel in the Middle East, the safety of our closest regional partners, and the stability of global maritime trade.
    2. Since 2023, the Houthis have launched hundreds of attacks against commercial vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, as well as US service members defending freedom of navigation and our regional partners.
    3. Today's action taken by the State Department demonstrates the Trump Administration's commitment to protecting our national security interests, the safety of the American people, and the security of the United States.
    4. Terrorist designations play a critical role in our fight against terrorism and are an effective way to curtail support for terrorist activities.
    5. The United States will not tolerate any country engaging with terrorist organizations like the Houthis in the name of practising legitimate international business.
    6. Most recently, the Houthis spared Chinese-flagged ships while targeting American and allied vessels.
