Pompeo wants to list Houthi in Yemen as a foreign terrorist organization

January 11 According to a New York Times report on the 11th, four U.S. officials familiar with the situation revealed on the 10th local time that Secretary of State Pompeo will list the Houthi militants in Yemen as a foreign terrorist organization.

The details of the directive are not clear, and a spokesman for the U.S. State Department also responded to it.

It is reported that inclusion in the list means that financial and material support from Bank of America and other institutions cannot be obtained. Previously, Pompeo had visited Saudi Arabia to meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

It is understood that Saudi Arabia and the Houthi have clashed since 2015, and Iran is the main supporter of the Houthis.
