Arab Coalition Thwarts Bombing Plot at Sea and Warns Houthi Militants to Clear Saana International Airport
The Arab Coalition Information Office announced on Saturday, March 26 it had targeted four bombing boats in the port of Al-Salif during an air operation and succeeded to thwart an imminent Houthi attack on tankers in the Red Sea.
According to al-Arabiya, the coalition had previously said that the Iranian regime-backed Houthi militant group are using protected sites such as Sanaa International Airport and al-Hudaidah Port to launch drone and ballistic missile attacks on Saudi oil facilities.
Arab Coalition forces called on Houthi militants to withdraw their weapons and ammunition from the protected areas, first and foremost the Sanaa International Airport. The coalition also warned that the Houthi military use of protected areas revokes the protected status of those places.
Biden Faces Growing Pressure Over Nuclear Talks, Rumored Plan To Pull Iran’s IRGC From Terror List
The Biden administration is playing with fire as it considers lifting the formal terrorism designation on Iran‘s elite military force, former U.S. officials and national security scholars said Friday, warning that American lives will be at greater risk if Washington makes such a concession in a bid to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
The debate over whether to pull Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from the State Department‘s official list of “foreign terrorist organizations” has become a flashpoint in Vienna, where negotiators from Iran, the U.S., Russia, and a handful of other nations are seeking the revival of an Obama-era deal limiting Tehran‘s nuclear program that President Trump repudiated in 2018. The IRGC — which backs militant groups that routinely target U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria, and itself claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile attack in northern Iraq earlier just weeks ago — was put on the terror list in 2019 as the Trump administration was re-imposing sanctions and ratcheting up a “maximum pressure” campaign on Iran.
