"Biden Administration's Plan to Relist Iran-Backed Houthi Rebels as Global Terrorists"

The Biden administration is set to relist Yemen's Houthi rebels as specially designated global terrorists due to their attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea, with the move expected to be announced on Wednesday. The decision to reimpose the label comes after the group launched numerous attacks and threatened global shipping, prompting U.S. and U.K. forces to respond with strikes. Concerns about exacerbating the conflict in Yemen and impacting humanitarian aid delivery have been raised, as the Houthis control territory where millions are at risk of hunger and disease. The situation in the Middle East, including the Israel-Hamas war and attacks by groups allied to Iran, is also being closely monitored.
