💨 Abstract

The U.S. State Department announced on Tuesday that it will label Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi movement as a "foreign terrorist organization", as per President Donald Trump's call earlier this year. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the Houthis pose a threat to U.S. security, regional partners, and global maritime trade. The designation will impose harsher economic penalties due to the Houthis' attacks on commercial shipping and U.
