Although I support diplomatic engagement with Iran (and all adversaries), this is about as close to nuclear blackmail as one gets.

It’s a fact that Iran is sponsoring the Houthis. It’s a fact that the Houthis are conducting terror.

The reality is that revoking the terrorist designation of the Houthis is a gift to the Iranians & will allow the Houthis to continue to foment terror around the world.
