US and UK impose sanctions on Iranian Guard Corps deputy commander, Houthi member
|
[IsraelTimes] The United States and Britannia announce fresh sanctions against an Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) deputy commander, alongside a member of the Iran-backed 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...
s.
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...
’s Houthis have been targeting shipping in the Red Sea area for months, persisting in attacks despite repeated US and British strikes aimed at degrading their ability to threaten the vital global trade route.
Brian Nelson, US Treasury undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, says the latest sanctions underscore resolve in targeting efforts by the IRGC Quds Force and Houthis to evade sanctions and fund more attacks in the region.
The Quds Force is the IRGC branch responsible for foreign operations, with officials saying it supports Death Eater groups across the region, including the Houthis, Hamas
 ...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
and Hezbollah.
As the Houthis "persistently threaten the security of peaceful international commerce, the United States and the United Kingdom will continue to disrupt the funding streams that enable these destabilizing activities," Nelson says.
"The UK will also sanction a Houthi security minister for threatening the peace, security and stability of Yemen by supporting attacks against shipping in the Red Sea," British authorities say in a statement.
Among those targeted are Mohammad Reza Falahzadeh, current deputy commander of the IRGC Quds Force.
Houthi member Ibrahim al-Nashiri was also named by the United States over support of the group’s Death Eater efforts.
The Treasury also announces sanctions against the owner and operator of a vessel used to ship Iranian commodities — Hong Kong-based Cap Tees Shipping Co — to support both the Houthis and IRGC Quds Force.
"The revenue generated through these illicit networks enables the Houthis’ Death Eater efforts, including numerous terrorist attacks in the region using advanced unmanned aerial vehicles and missiles," the US Treasury says.
