## Summary

**Designating Ansarallah as a foreign terrorist organization** is the bill's core aim. The bill would require the President to impose targeted sanctions and to develop a strategy to degrade Ansarallah's offensive capabilities and restore freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and nearby waterways. - Ansarallah, its officials, agents, and affiliates: Would be listed as a foreign terrorist organization and subject to property-blocking sanctions. The Treasury could be required to block U.S. financial transactions and the President must report whether three named individuals are officials, agents, or affiliates within 30 days. - Humanitarian workers and civilians in Yemen: Would force the Secretary of State, with USAID, to report on how Ansarallah's rules, interference, and violence impede aid delivery. That report must be submitted within 180 days and covers obstacles to distribution and steps U.S. partners take to keep aid flowing. - Maritime commerce and U.S. security efforts: Would require a presidential strategy, within 180 days, to degrade Ansarallah's command and control, leaders, intelligence support, lethal aid, training, and materiel and to restore freedom of navigation in the Bab al Mandeb Strait and adjacent waterways.
