Shafaq News/ On Tuesday, The UnitedStates designated Yemen’s Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) as a Foreign TerroristOrganization (FTO), fulfilling a key pledge by President Donald Trump.
The US State Department stated that"Houthi activities threaten civilian security, US personnel in the MiddleEast, regional partners, and global maritime trade stability." Thestatement added that Since 2023, Houthis group has carried out hundreds ofattacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, as well astargeting US forces and regional allies.
It also noted that the group havedeliberately avoided attacking Chinese-flagged vessels while focusing on US andallied ships.
Washington warned that it will nottolerate any nation engaging with “terrorist organizations” like the Houthisunder the guise of legitimate commerce and said that the designation “reaffirmsTrump’s commitment to protecting US security interests and curbing support forterrorist groups.”
On Monday, US Secretary of StateMarco Rubio spoke with Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al-Busaidi, stressing theneed to halt Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and nearby maritime routes.
