US sanctions network responsible for financing Houthi attacks in the Red Sea
[Rudaw] The US Department of the Treasury on Thursday said it designated three entities and one individual responsible for facilitating the flow of Iranian financial support to Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
forces in Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
and their "destabilizing activities," through US-designated network linked to a Houthi financier.

The move comes amid the Red Sea crisis as Yemen’s Houthis, a pro-Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
militia in control of most of the country, including its capital Sana’a, has vowed to target all ships on the way to Israel in the Bab al-Mandab strait, disrupting a key trade route, in support of Paleostinians under attack of Israeli forces in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
The individual designated as a controller of the transfer of Iranian funds to the Houthis is the head of the Currency Exchangers Association in Sana’a, while the three entities are exchange houses in Yemen and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
The designated legal persons are part of a financial network linked to Iran-based Houthi financier Sa’id al Jamal, designated in 2021 "or having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of" the US-designated Iran Revolutionary Guard Corp Quds Force (IRGC-QF).

As a result of this move, all assets and property belonging to the specified legal persons, "that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons," are frozen and must be disclosed to the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Furthermore, any organizations that are owned, whether directly or indirectly, individually or collectively, by 50 percent or more by one or more individuals subject to asset blocking are also subject to the same restrictions.

Moreover, legal persons and financial institutions who are found to engage in the "contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any designated person," or the receipt of any of the latter, might also be subject to sanctions or an enforcement action.
