According to a report from The Daily Wire, the Biden Administration is expected to re-designate the Houthis, an Iranian-backed terrorist group based in Yemen, as an official terrorist group after removing the group from the terror list shortly after Biden took office.
The group was responsible for firing a missile that hit a U.S.-owned tanker in the Red Sea —one of just many attacks carried out by the terror group against U.S. forces.
From The Daily Wire:
The U.S. recently started launching airstrikes against the terror group in response to their disruption of global trade in the Red Sea. Late last week, Biden called the group a terrorist organization.
“Nothing to update yet on the FTO designation,” White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters Tuesday. “We’re still in the process of reviewing it.”
The U.S. launched airstrikes against the Houthis on Thursday in coordination with the United Kingdom, and with support from Australia, Canada, Netherlands, and Bahrain, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement.
Popular conservative X account Libs of TikTok took a shot at the Biden Admin for undoing a Trump-era policy —then backtracking.
So it turns out the Biden admin reversing a Trump policy and removing the Houthis from the terror list was a bad idea. They’re now backtracking.
