US "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" sanctions against the Iran-backed Houthi militias for their ties to attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea took effect on Friday, the US Department of Treasury said in a statement on its website.
The US government last month said it was returning the Yemen-based militias to the global list of terrorist groups in an effort to stem attacks on international shipping.
