Iran says US designation of Yemen's Houthis as terrorists 'baseless'

Iran condemned on Thursday Washington's designation of Yemen's Tehran-allied Houthis as a terrorist organization, calling the move "baseless."

In a statement, foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the Houthi blacklisting was "a pretext for imposing inhumane sanctions against the Yemeni people," describing it as "unjustified and baseless."
