Houthis Attack Saudi Arabia Amid Talk Of US Delisting Iran’s IRGC

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis have launched missile and drone strikes on energy and water desalination facilities in Saudi Arabia causing some material damage.

The attack came amid talk that Washington is contemplating removing Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) from its ‘foreign terrorist designation’, FTO, designation to ink a nuclear agreement with Tehran.

Israel, Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies in the Persian Gulf have serious misgivings about the Biden administration’s quest to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, JCPOA, by making such concessions to Iran.
