Al-Houthi: America puts the option of war as a priority in Yemen while pretends to be peace

Top member in the Supreme Political Council, Mohammad Ali al-Houthi, commented on the new US sanctions on a number of people, including Yemenis, whom Washington claimed were affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and the Ansarullah “Houthis”, running financial operations to support Yemen army forces.

Mohammed Ali al-Houthi said in a tweet today that America is putting the option of war as a priority in Yemen while demonstrating peace.

He added: “Imposing sanctions allegedly in favor of imposing peace is an obstacle to achieving peace.”

Al-Houthi considered the US sanctions as a new crime targeting the private sector after targeting the central bank and stopping the export of oil, bombing factories and starving Yemenis by siege and cutting salaries

This is a systematic plan to eliminate the economy, he affirmed .

On Thursday, Washington announced sanctions against Yemeni business figures as well as Swed exchange company.
