America maneuvers with “worn-out” weapons in Yemen

The US began maneuvering with a card that had already been burned in Yemen on Thursday, coinciding with the failure of its military bet and diplomatic efforts to contain Yemeni operations.

Exclusive – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

The U.S. Treasury announced new sanctions against Yemeni companies and figures, notably the United Shahari Company.

Al-Shahari is on a new list that includes two individuals, and four entities not named in the new U.S. statement. The list is one of dozens announced by America since Yemen became involved in the Al-Aqsa flood, including dozens of companies and individuals.

Through targeting import and export companies, the U.S. administration is trying to expand the scope of humanitarian suffering in Yemen under the pretext of its “ties to the Houthis” by reducing imports of food and essential goods to the northern areas where these companies operate.

The recent American move coincides with its decision to lift sanctions on the son of former President Ahmed Ali Saleh and his father.

This comes just before a high-level American delegation arrives in Saudi Arabia to discuss developments in Yemen and the political process.

These moves indicate America’s attempt to strengthen its hand at the negotiating table with Saudi Arabia in order to persuade Riyadh of a new strategy in the hope of halting the rapid progress in the peace process with Sana’a.

The sanctions card is one of several pressure files that America has tried to use in recent months in Yemen to contain Yemeni operations supporting Gaza.

Yemen is launching extensive operations extending from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, passing through the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, and Gulf of Aden, alongside aerial operations targeting ports and cities of the occupation on the Mediterranean and Red Seas.

The U.S. forces have failed with their battleships and successive aircraft carriers to break the Yemeni siege on the occupation, causing embarrassment for America, which has dominated the seas for decades and recently lost its prestige.
