The United States understood Iran’s message and prepared 1500 soldiers for training in Texas, in preparation for sending them to Iraq and Syria to enhance the American presence in a region filled with events and disturbances. On January 17, 2024, the Houthi group (SDGT) was included in the terrorism lists, after the US Treasury had removed this classification from them on February 12, 2021. This indicates that the Biden administration intersects with the new Republican hawks represented by figures like Joel D. Rayburn when it comes to US national security. Undoubtedly, this action will have an impact on many decisions of the White House and the Democratic Party administration before the start of the US elections in November 2024.

Exploring the Role of Socio-economics and Sectarianism in Terrorist Recruitment
It becomes evident that the Islamic State’s recruitment strategies are primarily aimed at ideologically preparing jihadists to execute terrorist operations within their home countries. Therefore, European and American security agencies need to enhance their surveillance of social networks, Islamic forums, and Islamic sermons, and monitor those who regularly visit them.
