The U.S. on Wednesday redesignated Yemen's Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization as tensions continued to escalate in the Red Sea.
The move reversed President Biden's decision nearly three years ago to remove the Iran-backed group from the list over concerns it would further weaken Yemen's economy.
The designation came shortly after the U.S. launched another round of retaliatory strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, only for the rebels to hit more vessels with anti-ship ballistic missiles.
Many companies have re-routed their ships away through the Red Sea, disrupting global trade and even forcing Egypt to raise transit fees for the Suez Canal.
