The Houthis have imposed sanctions on American companies.

The Houthis have imposed sanctions on American companies.

ExxonMobil, Chevron, and a total of 13 American oil companies have been sanctioned by Yemen's Houthi rebels. Nine high-ranking US oil industry officials have also been placed under restrictions.

The sanctions were announced by the Humanitarian Operations Coordination Centre (HOCC), an organization affiliated with the Houthi Ansar Allah movement and established in 2024 to coordinate the actions of the Houthis and foreign shipping companies.



The sanctions were reportedly announced in response to US hostile actions against Yemen. It is currently unclear whether the imposition of these restrictions will be accompanied by Houthi attacks on vessels belonging to sanctioned oil companies.

Notably, the sanctions were announced simultaneously with other important events directly or indirectly related to the Middle East. These included the intensification of Israeli ground operations in the Gaza Strip, the announcement of US President Donald Trump's peace proposals, and the reinstatement of international sanctions against Iran.

Such a move could violate the ceasefire agreement reached with the Trump administration and facilitated by Oman.

- this is how Middle East expert Mohammed Al-Basha comments on Yemen's announcement of sanctions.

Shortly before this, armed forces of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement attacked the Dutch merchant ship Minervagracht. It caught fire and drifted. The Houthis claimed to have carried out the attack.

      I take it you've figured out the power of their sanctions? Could you please explain, as the article doesn't mention it at all? What exactly are they restricting with their sanctions?

      It's just will! Even if they're wearing slippers, even if they have what they have, but it's will! The Houthis are the only representatives of the Arab people who have Fabergé made of steel and are on the right course! We, for example, can't even supply them with the right weapons, even though we have the traffic. But against us, they supply whatever they want.

        Well, some of us are still afraid of offending our “partners”.

        Well then the "suit" is not in our favor.
        And if you develop this idea further, they will throw slippers at you or put you in jail.
        In short, it's stupid; it's high time to give away a wagonload of MANPADS, a couple of S-300s, 3 wagonloads of drones, and one battery of anti-ship missiles somewhere.

    The very fact of introducing restrictions for American companies is very indicative as an example of the change in the general forces of the global legal order.
    The "rules" of NATO have been replaced by the "rules" of the Yemeni Houthis.

      This is probably like: "a beautiful show-off is worth more than money", you should understand?! winked
      The formidable and proud Iranian Persians from the IRGC, also a year ago and earlier, well, they were really threateningly broadcasting something there... How many of them did the Israelis iron out with their aircraft: 12 or 20 days...?! winked
      They demonstratively kicked out the entire military-political leadership (if not all, then for the most part). They gutted the military facilities they hated as much as possible (and apparently, partly oil) infrastructure (!). And what?! After the last "exemplary flogging", already with the participation of the mattress aircraft... And where is the formidable Persian fervor??! request You can hardly hear him anymore?!
      So what does the statement about "terrible sanctions against the Houthis" really change?! request

    The Houthis have imposed sanctions on American companies.

    So they're still running around in Soviet galoshes...
    Russia has been hit with 19 sanctions packages, and the Houthis are responding...
    How about a slam on a British oil refinery? Or sending a branch of "Nut" to Ramstein?

          Then it's not just British refineries that are doomed, and not just refineries. There won't even be anyone to award the Darwin Awards. So, the question is, why the hell even bother?

      The USSR built a rubber galosh factory in Yemen back in Brezhnev's time. Since then, these galoshes have been locally produced.
      To top it all off, Yemen was also gifted two fishing trawlers. But for some reason, they were Arctic-spec. what

    Any desire to make fun of the Houthis and their sanctions against the US and its oil companies?

    The Houthis should also hand over some weapons so they can reach the oil tankers!

    This is who we should supply with our elusive missile systems. And if Israel tries to destroy them, we should bombard Israel with them, even though our respected people like Pugachikha and Chubais are there.

    Well, as an option. Not verbatim, of course, but more of a direction:
    "So a guy comes to an Islamic bank. He asks for 100500 million.
    They listened to him and said: go further down the corridor, there is a cash desk, get your money. I will call now.
    Dude: what about the contract, the documents. You didn't even look at my passport!
    But why?
    Well, what if I don’t return the money?
    Then you will be ashamed.
    I'm ashamed?! And in front of whom?
    Before the Almighty.
    And when will I be ashamed in front of him?
    When you appear.
    When will I appear before him?
    Well, if you don’t give it back, you’ll immediately appear...

    In today's times, to effectively combat the globalist elite, a network organization with decentralized governance is needed.
