The U.S. has imposed sanctions on a UAE-based Indian national for helping to fund a smuggling network that it says was cooperating with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to illicitly transfer tens of millions of dollars to Yemen's Houthi rebels. Manoj Sabharwal is part of a smuggling network that helps fund Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) and the Houthis in Yemen, the Department of Treasury said. Led by Iran-based Houthi financier Said al-Jamal, this network generates tens of millions of dollars in revenue from the sale of commodities, like Iranian petroleum, a significant portion of which is then directed through a complex network of intermediaries and exchange houses in multiple countries to the Houthis in Yemen, the U.S. alleged.More Related News
