There’s no denying that US President Joe Biden has set out to effect a reset of equations in the Middle East. This is exemplified by the several steps that his administration has already taken. For example, it was recently announced that the US was withdrawing its support for the Saudi Arabia-led war in Yemen, opening the door to ending what has been described as the world’s worst ongoing humanitarian crisis. Subsequently, the Biden administration also announced that it was removing the terror designation for Yemen’s Houthi rebels – who are said to be backed by Iran – to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to the beleaguered Yemini population.
