US Targets Firms, Vessels Aiding Houthis

Today, the United States is sanctioning three vessels and their owners for supporting the Iran-backed Houthis by delivering refined petroleum products to a Houthi-controlled port.

The United States is committed to disrupting the Houthis’ illicit revenue generation, financial facilitators, and suppliers as part of our whole-of-government approach to eliminating threats to freedom of navigation in the Red Sea.

The U.S. Department of State designated Ansarallah as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, effective February 16, 2024. On March 4, 2025, the Department of State announced the re-designation of Ansarallah as a Foreign Terrorist Organization
