The United States designated Yemen’s Huthi militants as a foreign terrorist organization, in line with President Trump’s January order. The Iran-backed group controls much of Yemen and has attacked Israel since the Gaza conflict escalated in October 2023.

On Tuesday, the United States officially classified Yemen’s Huthi militant group as a foreign terrorist organization. This designation aligns with an order issued by President Donald Trump earlier in January. The Huthis, supported by Iran, hold significant territory in Yemen, including the capital, Sanaa. Since the onset of the Gaza conflict in October 2023, they have conducted missile and drone strikes targeting Israel.

The United States has taken significant action against the Huthi group by labeling them as a foreign terrorist organization, a decision echoing earlier directives from President Trump. This designation reflects ongoing international concerns regarding the group’s activities and their implications for regional stability, particularly in light of their attacks on Israel since the escalation of the Gaza conflict.
