Ranian-backed Houthi extremists launched missiles and drones at energy and water desalination facilities in Saudi Arabia. A ballistic missile and nine drones were intercepted by the Saudis. No casualties occurred during the assaults. The Houthis were designated by the Trump administration as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and as Specially Designated Global Terrorists. President Joe Biden delisted the Houthis as a terrorist organization. Critics argue that Biden’s move has emboldened the Iran-backed group.
