The United States has announced sanctions on five companies and five individuals, while also identifying eight vessels as blocked property. These measures are in response to their connections with a network linked to Sa’id al-Jamal, a U.S.-designated Houthi financial operative backed by the Iran-based Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force. The U.S. government asserts that the Iranian regime's support for regional terrorist groups is contributing to instability in the Middle East.
According to the U.S., revenue from al-Jamal’s network supports the Houthis' regional attacks, including disruptions of international shipping in crucial waterways. This latest action marks the eleventh round of sanctions targeting Sa’id al-Jamal’s network. "We will continue to use the tools at our disposal to target these illicit revenue streams," stated a representative.
These Treasury actions were executed under counterterrorism authority Executive Order (E.O.) 13224, as amended. Further details can be found in Treasury's press release.
