US says won't hesitate to impose sanctions on Houthis

The U.S. State Department confirmed on Monday that it will keep up pressure on the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militia to stop their destabilizing acts.

In exclusive statements to Al-Arabiya news website, the U.S. State Department spokeswoman Geraldine Griffith

said stressed that Washington 'will not hesitate to impose more sanctions on the Houthis.'

Late Sunday, Saudi Arabia confirmed that one of its oil storage yards at the Ras Tanura port was targeted by a Houthi drone attack on a petroleum tank farm at Ras Tanura port, according to a statement from a source at the Kingdom’s Energy Ministry.

 

The attack did not result in any injury or loss of life or property, authorities from Saudi Arabia’s Energy Ministry confirmed.

“The source from the Saudi Arabian Energy Ministry said that the Kingdom affirms that these sabotage attacks are a flagrant violation of all international laws and norms, and that, to the extent that they are treacherous and cowardly targeting the Kingdom, they target, to a greater extent, the global economy,” a statement released by the Saudi Press Agency read.
