Info:
Saudi Arabia announced that it had designated Zakaria Abdullah Yahya Hajar for being linked to the Iran-backed Houthis and issued a ruling to freeze their assets. It follows Royal Decree No. (M/21) and the Security Council Resolution No. 1373 of 2001;
Zakaria Abdullah Yahya Hajar attended military training courses in Iran and is allegedly associated with ballistic missile launches and drones;
Saudi Arabia sanctioned key militants of the Iranian-backed Ansarallah, sometimes referred to as the Houthis, whose actions have prolonged Yemen’s civil war and exacerbated the country’s humanitarian crisis. Zakaria Abdullah Yahya Hajar is responsible for orchestrating attacks by Houthi forces impacting Yemeni civilians, bordering nations, and commercial vessels in international waters. These actions, which were done to advance the Iranian regime’s destabilizing agenda, have fueled the Yemeni conflict, displacing more than one million people and pushing Yemen to the brink of famine;
The Iranian regime has intensified this conflict by providing direct financial and materiel assistance to the Houthis, including small arms, missiles, explosives, and UAVs. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)–Qods Force has provided military guidance and training to the Houthis. This support has allowed the Houthis to threaten Yemen’s neighbors and to conduct heinous attacks damaging civilian infrastructure in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Iranian support of the Houthis has only prolonged Yemen’s civil war and contributed to the widespread suffering of millions of Yemenis in a humanitarian crisis the United Nations called “the worst in the world.”;
