Washington: Houthis repeat Yemen blockade slogans to justify their attacks

Yemen ·

The spokesman for the US embassy in Yemen said the Houthis' repeated claims of a blockade on Yemen are mere slogans used to justify their attacks on the internationally recognised government and on Saudi Arabia. He said these attacks are carried out at Iran's direction.

Yemen has been divided since the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) seized Sanaa in 2014, and a Saudi-led coalition has backed the internationally recognised government since 2015.
