U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to list the Houthis on the "foreign terrorist organizations" list. This decision has sparked intense debate in the U.S. and beyond. In turn, the Islamic Republic of Iran stressed that "all responsibility for the negative consequences will fall on the American regime."
Opponents of Trump's initiative argue that this action could hinder the delivery of humanitarian aid to Yemen, which is already suffering from famine. Arab countries have stated that a move against the Houthis is necessary to stop aggression and instability in the region.
"We declare a state of extraordinary situation in connection with the threat posed by the Houthis," said U.S. Vice President Mike Pence.
