The U.S. declared Yemen’s Huthi militant group as a foreign terrorist organization, adhering to a January directive from President Trump. The Iran-supported group oversees much of Yemen and has conducted attacks on Israel amid the recent Gaza conflict.
On Tuesday, the United States officially classified Yemen’s Huthi militant group as a foreign terrorist organization, following an order from President Donald Trump issued in January. The Huthis, who receive support from Iran, maintain control over significant portions of Yemen, including the capital city Sanaa. Following the outbreak of conflict in Gaza in October 2023, these rebels have executed missile and drone assaults targeting Israel.
The designation of Yemen’s Huthi group as a foreign terrorist organization underscores the escalating regional tensions and the group’s involvement in international conflicts. This action by the U.S. reflects a strategic stance towards entities perceived as threats in the Middle East.
