Senator Tom Cotton (R-AS) introduced a bill condemning the human rights violations of the Houthi rebels in Yemen, particularly their cooperation with Iranian supporters. The bill is unique given it follows months of legislation on Capitol Hill targeting the humanitarian consequences of Saudi Arabia’s actions. In contrast, Senator Cotton’s bill depicts Saudi Arabia as a victim, calling on the Senate to condemn Houthi attacks on Saudi civilian infrastructure and personnel. Additionally, the bill condemns the financial, moral and logistic support given to the Houthis by Iran and Iranian actors.
