Standing Against Houthi Aggression Act: Sanctions and Terrorist Designation

This act aims to re-designate Ansarallah (Houthis) as a foreign terrorist organization and impose sanctions on them. This means freezing their assets in the U.S. and prohibiting their members from entering the United States. These actions are intended to limit their ability to attack international shipping and disrupt global supply chains, which could affect product prices and availability for citizens.
Key points
The Houthis will be re-designated as a foreign terrorist organization within 90 days of the act's enactment.
Houthi assets and those of related individuals in the U.S. will be frozen, and their members will be barred from entering the United States.
The goal is to curb attacks on ships that disrupt trade and could increase the cost of transporting goods.
