US President Donald Trump is set to list Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), Al-Arabiya English reported citing officials familiar with the matter.
The Biden administration had earlier revoked the Houthis' designation.
The report came hours after the Houthis released the crew of the Galaxy Leader more than a year after they seized the Bahamas-flagged vessel off the Yemeni Red Sea coast, a video released by the Houthis Al-Masirah TV showed.
The crew were handed to Oman "in coordination" with the three-day-old ceasefire in Gaza's war between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas, the video showed.
