US says Houthis use blockade claims to justify attacks on Yemen govt, Saudi Arabia

In brief

DUBAI: The US Embassy in Yemen said repeated Houthi claims that Yemen is under a blockade were “just slogans” used to justify attacks against the internationally recognized government and Saudi Arabia on Iran’s orders. Embassy spokesman Khaled Wolfsberg said the only blockade was one imposed by the Houthis on the city of Taiz. He made the remarks in a video statement posted by the embassy on X on Tuesday.
