The US designation of the Houthis as a terrorist group will take effect on 16 February, if the militia does not stop its strikes on ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, according to a statement by US ambassador to Yemen Steven Fagin. In January 2024, the US Department of State designated Yemen's Houthis as a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist group' due to their increased attacks on shipping lanes. In December 2023, the US Department of Defense announced a multinational operation to safeguard trade and protect ships in the Red Sea in response to the escalation of Houthi attacks.
