As Iran-backed Houthi increased attacks on Washington’s allies, the US Senate asked President Joe Biden to raise their pressure on Tehran.
In a rare move, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell dedicated his daily inaugural statement to address Iran's proxies in the region, referring to the recent Houthi attacks on the UAE.
"The UAE was targeted by a Houthi missile attack, made possible by Tehran," McConnell warned, adding that the terrorists targeted an airbase that hosts 2,000 US personnel last week.
The Republican leader stated that the US alongside its partners including Israel and the UAE face Iranian-backed threats,"But you wouldn't know it by looking at President Biden's foreign policy."
A year ago, the State Department removed Yemen's Houthi terrorists from its list of foreign terrorist organizations.
"The Iranian proxy terrorists have only increased their attacks, underwritten by Iranian money and technology," he warned.
Last month the Biden Administration was reportedly considering reversing its decision.
