"Biden Administration's Reversal on Houthi Terrorist Designation Sparks New Strikes and Controversy"

The US has relisted Yemen-based Houthi rebels as a terrorist group, imposing harsh sanctions to curb attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea. The move aims to cut off funding and weapons used by the Iran-aligned group, with exemptions for humanitarian aid. The Houthis' actions have disrupted global commerce and raised concerns about the Middle East's stability. The UN and aid groups fear the sanctions could worsen Yemen's severe humanitarian crisis, affecting the majority of the population living in Houthi-controlled areas.
