The U.S. revealed it put Yemen’s Houthi rebels back on its list of specially designated global terrorists on Wednesday, following a series of attacks on Israel-affiliated vessels on the Red Sea.
The move hits the Iran-backed fighters with harsh sanctions that could cripple their ability to fund attacks in vital Red Sea shipping lanes.
The Houthis say the designation is “blackmail” and will not affect operations that they are actively carrying out in solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
“The U.S. uses this designation as blackmail against anyone who opposes its policies and stands in opposition — including its support for the war on Gaza,” Houthi Media Authority member Abdul-Rahman al-Ahnumi said on Wednesday.
“We will continue to make clear to the Houthis that there attacks against merchant vessels must stop and we will remain prepared to take additional actions if necessary,” U.S. State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said Wednesday.
Despite U.S. threats, the Houthis remain in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza — more than 24,000 of which have been killed by Israel since Oct 7. The violence came in response to the Hamas attacks in Israel that resulted in the death of more than 1,200 Israelis and approximately 240 hostages being taken.

Why is global news using numbers from Hamas in regards to death tolls?
If they act like terrorists, and talk like terrorists, guess what, they are!
What is it called when US hijacks ship going to Yemen? Piracy or self protection 6,000 miles from borders?
??????? ??????? ??? ??? ???? ???? ??????? ??????? ?? ???
???????? ???? ?? ???? ?? ??? ???? ????????? ????????? ??? ???? ??? ???????
Who is going to finally declare Israel and the USA as terrorist groups? It is long over due!
Hamas is to blame for all of this terrorism n Iran is behind them evil all ways looses
The word Terrorist has lost its fearmongering value at this stage.
i'm confused with the use of the word 'terrorism', coming from a country that bombed libya, yemen, syria, iraq x2, laos, vietnam, korea, china, philipines, yugoslavia, granada, cuba, haiti, mexico, dozens of african countries like somalia, dozens of countries in south america, central america. WHO is the terrorist here i don't understand this????
Who label who??
??? ok
The Houthi's are striking commercial shipping (civilians) to disrupt trade, that is the definition of terrorism… They are not standing in solidarity with Gaza, they don't care about Palestinians just like they don't care about many of their own Yemeni people. The Houthi's are just using this war as an excuse to gain support by fighting against Israel and the US. It is bad enough that they can easily do this in their own country by controlling news narratives, the last thing we need are our own "news" outlets also supporting them like you are doing with this video and headline. Please stop supporting terrorism and start reporting the news properly…
The US has gutted international justice and lost all credibility and any moral authority they might have had by choosing to support Israel's war crimes. I feel like this is not going to end well.
Joe Biden would never do such a thing ????. 10% for the Big Guy ???
The US had greece confiscate an iranian ship almost a year ago. The US then tranferred the oil from that ship into a US tanker. I believe that is piracy.
If Yemen has enough money to arm itself it can also feed and treat its people. No more funds should be going to Yemen.
What about the United States, UK and Israel ?
Have they been listened as terrorist ?
Why is it that America is the only country that list different organization as terrorists groups. They are the biggest terrorists group in the world being warmongers themselves
The red sea is their waters. It doesn’t belong to global commerce.
There's a man in the funny papers we all know
Alla-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop
He lives way back a long time ago
Alla-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop
Will America be as nice to the Houthis as Israel is to the Palistinians?
Why are we not designated the USA as a terrorist group? ?
??????? ????? ????? ??? ???????
Too much talk. Send in Tom Cruise in his F18 already!
From all these narrative and news ,the terrorist here is the US. THE UK JUMP WHEN THE US TOLD TO JUMP.
THE PROBLEM IS GAZA .THE HOUTHIS ARE CALLING TO STOP THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA AND CEASEFIRE!
It's obvious that the USA defends its husband israel, without forgetting the waitress which is the UK
America sold billions to the Saudis for another regime change attempt in Yemen. The Houthis fought them and won. America is the terror group.
Has to be world free u.s
-Jan 17 World Economic Forum (WEF) invited the master of terrorists to Davos amid simmering tensions with the West!!
-Iran's regime FM Abdollahian interviewed with their favorite host, Fareed Zakaria CNN: "If the Gaza conflict ends, we will stop other crises and attacks in the region!"
– Iran's regime leader, Khamenei: "It was necessary to use the latest political opportunities to stop the war, and if the situation goes out of control, no party (he means terrorists) will be safe from its consequences!!" Ayatollahs of Iran's regime are scared!
Iraq Foreign Minister: "Iran's regime cannot attack Israel. They are looking for a victim around them!
-Jan 15 US Navy seized a boat heading for Yemen and seized Iranian-made missile components and other weaponry bound for Houthi forces!
-Jan 16 Fawad Hossein, Iraqi Foreign Minister: "Iran's regime bombing of Erbil is due to the country's inability to respond to Israel!
The IRGC attacked civilian areas of Erbil, including a house, and all the dead and wounded in this attack were Iraqi Kurds!"
-Jan 17 Pakistan has strongly condemned an Iran's regime airstrike inside its borders that killed two children, calling it an “unprovoked violation of its airspace” and warning of retaliation.
Haha uncle sam will never learn
The last president, had it right, then Crusty Joe screwed that up. Like many other changes Crusty made.
What a Joke, labeling them with that means nothing when you're doing it to protect you know who doing you know what, I have to be careful because of the censorship but it's obvious that the U.S isn't feard or taken serious by anyone anymore
The U.S Govt. is criminal
One country's idea of terrorists is another country's freedom fighters. The United States and Israel are terrorists to the Houthis as they fight for a just cause.
But it's their waters ??? since I heard the British minister say they are attacking "our" space I laughed as the British navy ships are no in British waters but in Yemeni waters ???
Who is true terror .. Africa said I'm not child today..
Derka derka, Mohammed Jihad, derka derka.
The biggest terrorist is the USG.
Its about time call a spade a spade!! Don't be attacking ships!!
Idk what they think a terrorist really is? But apparently targeting bulk transport on the ocean is not by there definition… this is all push shove.. and its Russia and iran behind it… time for NATO to send a clear message
