The sanctions imposed by the US Department of the Treasury target key Houthi leaders like Hashem al-Madani, aimed at disrupting their funding mechanisms and preventing them from acquiring weapons components.
According to Treasury official Bradley Smith, the aim of these sanctions is to expose schemes that help the Houthis secure additional revenue while holding accountable those enabling their destabilizing activities.
The US measures block assets and restrict financial transactions with the sanctioned individuals and firms, signifying a commitment to economic pressure on the Houthis as their attacks intensify.
The backdrop of these sanctions includes recent military actions, where Israel bombed targets linked to the Houthis following missile launches from Yemen, indicating an escalating regional conflict.
