The sanctions<\/a> <\/strong>specifically focus on individuals and entities involved in supplying resources to the Houthis.<\/p>\n

Among those sanctioned is Sa\u2019id al-Jamal, identified as a key financial facilitator linked to Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF). Al-Jamal\u2019s network has allegedly been involved in acquiring a wide range of goods from Russia, including weapons and stolen Ukrainian grain, which were subsequently sent to Yemen for use by the Houthis.<\/p>\n

One of the critical elements of the new sanctions is the inclusion of eight cryptocurrency wallets, which the OFAC claims were used by the Houthis to move funds related to their operations. Under the new regulations, any transactions involving these crypto addresses are prohibited unless specifically authorized by OFAC. This means that U.S. individuals or entities are barred from dealing with these assets, as engaging with blocked persons or properties without permission is illegal.<\/p>\n
