The United States has designated Yemen’s Huthi militant group as a foreign terrorist organization, following President Trump’s order from January. The Huthis, supported by Iran, control much of Yemen and have recently attacked Israel with missiles and drones amid the Gaza conflict.
On Tuesday, the United States officially labeled Yemen’s Huthi militant group as a foreign terrorist organization, a directive that aligns with President Donald Trump’s earlier order from January. The Huthis, backed by Iran, maintain control over significant portions of Yemen, including the capital, Sanaa. Since the escalation of conflict in Gaza in October 2023, they have conducted missile and drone assaults targeting Israel.
The designation of the Huthi militant group as a foreign terrorist organization underscores the U.S. stance against the group’s activities and its international implications. The ongoing conflict in Yemen and the group’s aggressive actions in the region highlight the complexity of Middle Eastern geopolitics.
