US Sanctions Network Allegedly Linked to Iran-Backed Houthis
The US is imposing sanctions on two individuals and five entities for allegedly delivering petroleum products to Yemen's Houthi militants, just weeks after the group assaulted cargo vessels in the Red Sea.
Muhammad Al-Sunaydar, one of the targeted individuals, manages a network of petroleum companies between Yemen and the United Arab Emirates, including the Arkan Mars Petroleum Company for Oil Products Imports, the Treasury Department said Tuesday in a statement. The department also linked sanctioned individual Yahya Mohammed Al Wazir to money laundering for the Iran-backed group, which is designated a terrorist organization by the US.
