The Spokesperson for the Department of State, Matthew Miller stated in a press release that "the United States has imposed sanctions on two ship owners in Hong Kong and the Marshall Islands for their role in facilitating the flow of Iranian financial aid to Houthi forces, and their ships have been designated as prohibited assets."

The spokesperson affirmed that the United States will continue to use all available measures to disrupt the influx of funding that enables these destabilizing activities.
