US to designate Yemen's Houthis a terrorist group to deter Iran, despite famine warnings

ABC  

The United States said it would designate Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels as terrorists, a last-ditch move under President Donald Trump that aid groups warned could tip the country into famine. Key points: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says the decision is to hold the Houthis to account for "terrorist acts" Aid groups say the move will disrupt vital humanitarian assistance to Yemen's 30 million people The US decision is aimed at crippling Iran, but the Houthis and Tehran remain defiant Unless Congress blocks the decision, the Houthis will be blacklisted on January 19 — one day before the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. "The decision is likely to have serious humanitarian and political repercussions," he said, adding that it could hamper UN mediation efforts and hurt peace talks by polarising each side's positions. In Iran, the Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said the designation was "doomed to failure" and the US would eventually have to enter negotiations with the Houthis.
