The United States has imposed sanctions on two Houthi military officials leading the Iran-aligned movement s offensive to seize Yemen s gas-rich Marib region, the US Special Envoy on Yemen said on Thursday.
Tim Lenderking urged the group battling a Saudi-led coalition for over six years to de-escalate and engage seriously with US and UN efforts for a ceasefire needed to end the war, a top foreign policy priority for the Biden administration. The Houthis are not winning in Marib. Instead they are putting a great deal of stress on an already very fragile humanitarian situation, they are putting the lives of 1 million internally displaced people . in danger, Lenderking said.
