The US Department of Defense said, on Tuesday, that it had made recommendations to the US administration to reclassify the Houthi militia as a terrorist organization with a regional threat.
The Pentagon confirmed, in statements to Sky News Arabia, that the CIA supports the Pentagon's assessment of designating the Houthis as a terrorist organization.
It said that the Houthi militia's attacks directly threaten US interests, noting that the military leaders view the Houthi militia's attack on civilian facilities in the UAE as a terrorist act.
