The United States and the United Kingdom are exploring ways to escalate their campaign against Houthi militants in Yemen, focusing on targeting Iranian resupplies and considering more aggressive pre-emptive strikes to prevent a broader war. Controversy surrounds the Biden administration’s sanctions carveout allowing American energy deals with the Houthis, which some lawmakers argue could weaken efforts to cut off resources to the Iranian proxy. In the UK, there is a push, highlighted by Robert Jenrick in The Telegraph, to classify Iran’s IRGC and the Houthis as terrorist groups.
