Biden's Fake Houthi Offensive Aims to Maintain Treacherous Pro-Iran Policy

The too cute by half re-listing of the Shia jihadist group as a terrorist organization aims to protect Tehran while managing domestic political liabilities

Biden’s lame Houthi ‘listing’ won’t deter the terrorists — or their backer, Iran

For a quintessential example of the Biden administration’s farcical foreign policy, look no further than its duplicitous re-designation of Yemen’s Houthis as a terrorist group — an election-year ruse to create the appearance of combating the Iranian proxy while preserving the Iran-empowering status quo.

After weeks of attacks on the United States and our allies turned the Red Sea into a no-go zone, the Biden State Department last week finally corrected its February 2021 error in lifting sanctions the Trump State Department had slapped on the jihadist organization.

The White House re-listed the Houthis as a specially designated global terrorist group, giving America authority to block its assets and disrupt its international financial-support network.

But the move came with remarkable caveats — including among them loopholes the Shia jihadist group, an Iranian proxy, will no doubt fly ballistic missiles through.

As I write in the New York Post, those caveats reveal a treacherous Biden agenda that will continue imperiling Americans abroad, and threaten to blow up in our face at home too.
