1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Standing Against Houthi Aggression Act . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) It was reported by Reuters on March 21, 2017, that Iran, a designated state sponsor of terror, sent advanced weapons and military advisers to assist and support Yemen’s Ansarallah, commonly referred to as the Houthis . (2) On January 19, 2021, the Trump Administration designated Ansarallah as a foreign terrorist organization and a specially designated global terrorist. (3) On February 16, 2021, Secretary of State Blinken revoked the designation of Ansarallah as a foreign terrorist organization pursuant to section 219(a)(6)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1189(a)(6)(A) ). (4) Since October 7, 2023, the Houthis have launched over 40 ballistic missile and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea, including direct attacks on United States sailors and taking an international ship and its crew hostage. This follows years of Houthi cross-border attacks against Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. (5) Houthi attacks on global shipping have caused many shipping companies to re-route to avoid the area, resulting in a de-facto blockade against Yemen, while also driving up shipping costs, disrupting supply chains, and negatively impacting the global economy. (6) In addition to providing the Houthis with advanced conventional weapons and component parts, Iran and their Hezbollah proxies have also enabled the Houthis with financial support, training, and technical knowledge to manufacture weapons, including long range drones and ballistic and cruise missiles in Yemen, resulting in increased Houthi weapons stockpiles and illegal weapons proliferation throughout the region. 3.
