The United States on Tuesday imposed sanctions on two military leaders of the Iran-backed Houthi movement in Yemen, accusing them of prolonging the country's civil war and exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
The U.S. Treasury Department in a statement said it blacklisted Mansur Al-Sa'adi, the Houthi naval forces chief of staff, and Ahmad Ali Ahsan Al Hamzi, the commander of Yemen's Houthi-aligned Yemeni air force and air defense forces.
