US President Donald Trump has officially added the Antar Allah Yemen, known as Hurvit, to the list of "foreign terrorist organizations". This decision was announced on the White House's official website and was the next step in the fight against the US with threats that they think it creates this group.
The statement states that the main purpose of the United States is to cooperate with regional partners to stop Ansar Allah attacks on US military and civilian population. According to Washington, Husita, supported by Iran, has repeatedly attacked US warships in the Red Sea waters since 2023, creating a danger to the US military.
In addition, groups are accused of shelling of important infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, united by Arab Emirates and Israel.
According to the United States, commercial vessels have attacked Husites more than 100 times, killing at least four civilian sailors. These actions forced a number of transport companies to change the routes of their ships in the Red Sea, which, in turn, increased global inflation due to the disruption of marine transportation.
The Ansar Allah group is actively supported by Iran, who, according to the US authorities, provides Hussites with military, financial and technological assistance. This step in the United States can be considered as part of the overall strategy for increasing pressure on Iran and combating its impact in the region.
