WASHINGTON - The Biden administration was expected to announce plans to relist Houthi rebels as specially designated global terrorists, a United States official told Reuters.
The US military has carried out a series of strikes
The Iran-allied Houthi militia has threatened to expand its attacks to include US ships in response to American and British strikes on its sites in Yemen.
US President Joe Biden on Jan 12 called Yemen’s Houthi forces a “terrorist” group, after American and British warplanes, ships and submarines launched dozens of air strikes across Yemen overnight.
