US Strikes in Iraq and Houthi Terrorist Designation

The United States conducted airstrikes against Kataib Hezbollah facilities in Iraq following attacks on U.S. personnel at Al-Asad Air Base. The Iraqi government condemned the strikes as a violation of sovereignty. Concurrently, the State Department's decision to place the Houthis on a "specially designated global terrorist" list rather than a full foreign terrorist organization list has drawn criticism for allowing continued material support to reach the group.
