Iraq will correct a list of groups whose funding it has frozen, the state news agency reported on Thursday, after Iran-backed Hezbollah and the Houthis were included in an earlier government publication. The Justice Ministry's official gazette last month published a list of groups and entities whose funds would be blocked, naming both Lebanon's Hezbollah and Yemen's Houthis, a move that would likely have been welcomed in Washington and increased pressure on Tehran.
