The U.S. sanctioned “two senior leaders of Huthi forces in Yemen who are involved in military offensives that exacerbate the humanitarian crisis, pose a dire threat to civilians and destabilise Yemen”. The Treasury Department contended that “the Huthis, with the support of the Iranian government, continue to wage a bloody war against the internationally recognised Yemeni… Iranian support through funding, training and military equipment has allowed the Huthis to threaten Yemen’s neighbours and to conduct heinous attacks damaging civilian infrastructure in Yemen and Saudi Arabia”.
