Statement from President Joe Biden on Coalition Strikes in Houthi-Controlled Areas in Yemen
The United States has announced that it is adding the Yemeni Ansarallah movement back to the list of terrorist organizations. It was initially added to the list in January 2021 under Trump, but the decision was later reversed by Joe Biden when he came into power, citing “humanitarian grounds.”
However, it is worth noting that the previous status of the Houthis did not in any way hinder the Americans from launching strikes on Yemen, whether it was last week or even as far back as 2015. This measure is purely symbolic and in some ways even populist in nature.
Furthermore, it is important to mention that this decision will not have any impact on the combat capabilities of Ansarallah, nor will it affect their ability to influence shipping in the Red Sea. It is highly likely that in the near future, the Houthis will launch another symbolic attack on ships off the coast of Yemen.
