The move comes as part of a series of new measures aimed at Iran-backed militant group.

In May, however, the United States announced an unexpected deal with Houth, in which it agreed to stop the bombing campaign in exchange for stopping attacks on ships. However, Houth stated that the agreement did not include suspending their actions against Israel. /Persycope/
