CHICAGO: Two senior Houthi militia leaders have been sanctioned by the US over their involvement in terror strikes against Yemeni civilians as well as attacks on 抖阴短视频 and commercial shipping in international waters.

Mansur Al-Sa鈥檃di and Ahmad Ali Ahsan Al-Hamzi, both key figures in the Iran-backed Ansarallah terrorist organization, were named in sanctions issued on Tuesday by the US Treasury.

Treasury officials said that 鈥渁ll property and interests in property鈥� of Al-Sa鈥檃di and Al-Hamzi in the US, or in the possession or control of US persons, will be 鈥渂locked.鈥�

鈥淭he US condemns the destruction of civilian sites by the Houthi militants designated today.  These individuals command forces that are worsening the humanitarian crisis in Yemen,鈥� Andrea Gacki, director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control, said.

She added: 鈥淭he US remains committed to promoting accountability of the Houthi leadership for their actions, which have contributed to the extraordinary suffering of the Yemeni people.鈥�

Al-Sa鈥檃di, the Houthi naval forces chief of staff, has directed lethal attacks against international shipping in the Red Sea. He has received extensive training in Iran and helped smuggle Iranian weapons into Yemen.

Al-Hamzi, who heads the militia鈥檚 air defense forces, as well as its unmanned aircraft (UAV) program, has acquired Iranian-made weapons for use in the Yemen civil war. Houthi forces under his command have carried out targeted drone strikes.

Gacki said that Iran鈥檚 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had provided military guidance and training to the Houthis since the start of the conflict.

鈥淭he Houthis, with the support of the Iranian regime, have waged a bloody war against the internationally recognized Yemeni government using ballistic missiles, explosives, naval mines and unmanned aerial vehicles to attack bases, population centers, infrastructure and nearby commercial shipping,鈥� Gacki said in a statement.

鈥淭he Iranian regime has intensified this conflict by providing direct financial and material assistance to the Houthis, including small arms, missiles, explosives, and UAVs,鈥� a statement from the Treasury Department said.

This support 鈥渉as allowed the Houthis to threaten Yemen鈥檚 neighbors, and to conduct heinous attacks damaging civilian infrastructure in Yemen and 抖阴短视频.鈥�

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken also condemned the Iranian-backed violence.

鈥淲e strongly condemn the Ansarallah鈥檚 continued assault on Marib and their attacks in the region, including a complex attack on Feb. 27, which threatened civilian areas with several UAVS and a missile attack on Riyadh.  Again, on March 1, Ansarallah attacked the Saudi city of Jazan and injured five civilians,鈥� Blinken said in a statement.

鈥淲e will ensure 抖阴短视频 and our regional partners have the tools they need to defend themselves, including against threats emanating from Yemen that are carried out with weapons and support from Iran.鈥�

Iran鈥檚 involvement in Yemen fans the flames of the conflict, threatening greater escalation, miscalculation and regional instability, Blinken said.

The Houthi militia use Iranian weapons, intelligence, training and support to conduct attacks threatening civilian targets and infrastructure in Yemen and 抖阴短视频, he added.
