0:50Now PlayingThe United States on Wednesday relisted Yemen's Houthi rebels as a global terrorist group in response to their relentless attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
The State Department said the designation, aimed at blocking money and weapons from going to the Iran-backed militia, will take effect in 30 days.
While the Houthis must be held accountable for the "unprecedented" attacks that have disrupted trade and interfered with navigational rights and freedoms, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement, the United States recognizes it "should not be at the expense of Yemeni civilians."
In its waning days, the Trump administration designated the Houthis a foreign terrorist organization over the strong objections of human rights and humanitarian aid groups.
The foreign terrorist designation barred Americans and people and organizations subject to U.S. jurisdiction from providing “material support” to the Houthis, which the groups said would result in an even greater humanitarian catastrophe than what was already happening in Yemen.
