To designate Ansarallah as a foreign terrorist organization and impose certain sanctions on Ansarallah, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. Short title.

This Act may be cited as the “Standing Against Houthi Aggression Act”.

SEC. 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) On March 7, 2021, an Ansarallah drone strike had been intercepted by Saudi Arabia which targeted an oil storage yard at Ras Tanura.

(5) On March 19, 2021, another Ansarallah drone strike hit a Riyadh oil refinery which caused a fire that was brought under control.

(6) After the March 19, 2021, attack, An­sa­ral­lah proclaimed that they launched six drones at a Saudi Aramco facility, and vowed to continue operations against Saudi Arabia as long as “its aggression against Yemen would continue”.
