CAIRO: Yemen s Iran-backed rebels on Wednesday warned that the US sanctions imposed the previous day on two of their military leaders would only prolong the conflict in the improvised Arab country.
President Joe Biden s administration slapped sanctions on Tuesday on two Houthi leaders, citing their alleged roles in cross-border attacks on Saudi Arabia and shipping vessels in the Red Sea.
Rebel leaders Monsour al-Saadi and Ahmed al-Hamzi were responsible for attacks impacting Yemeni civilians, bordering nations, and commercial vessels in international waters, the departments of State and Treasury said.
They said the Houthis play a significant role in the conflict in Yemen and exacerbate the dire humanitarian plight of the Yemeni people.
