US Treasury imposes sanctions targeting Houthi, Hezbollah trade
The United States has issued sanctions targeting Houthi and Hezbollah trade networks, the US Treasury Department says, as Washington seeks to increase pressure on Tehran and the Iranian proxies.
The department says in a statement that it targeted companies, individuals and vessels accused of being involved in the shipment of Iranian commodities, including oil and liquefied petroleum gas to Yemen and the United Arab Emirates on behalf of a Houthi financial official’s network.
