The Trump administration sanctioned 32 people and entities and four vessels that it said are part of the Houthi terror group’s “global illicit fundraising, smuggling and weapons procurement operations.”
Those sanctioned serve distinct roles in Houthi operations, including a network of businesses and individuals that smuggle Iranian oil products into Yemen that the department said was valued at $1 billion.
The U.S. government also sanctioned Houthi officials accused of money laundering and companies that serve as a fronts for Houthi trade.
The department stated that this is the largest sanctions action to date targeting the Iran-backed terror group.
