The comment is in line with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's statements in November that the US would re-evaluate the designation if the Houthis ceased attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
The decision comes two years after a prior unheeded attempt to ban the antisemitic Iran-backed Shi’i movement, whose infamous slogan calls, among other things, for 'a curse upon the Jews.'
The Houthis have vowed to continue their attacks in the Red Sea as long as Israel continues to commit "crimes against Palestinians."
After a three-day hiatus, the Yemen-based, Iran-backed Houthi terrorist group has commenced attacks on the Red Sea targeting ships.
As Yemen's economic conditions deteriorate, the Houthis stand accused of diverting public attention by focusing on Israeli-Palestinian hostilities
Since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, the Iranian-backed group has terrorized shipping networks, leading the US State Department to take a firmer stance.
The Houthis have adopted a new narrative in which they now interpret their war in Yemen as part of a regional struggle for the Palestinians.
Some sources have told the Post that the Yemen terror group has gone beyond its sponsor’s orders.
The engagement was one of three separate incidents of Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea on Saturday morning, according to US Central Command.
