UAE : Garhgash urges quick end to Israel-Iran war, warns of ‘difficult aftermath' of prolonged war
DUBAI — A senior United Arab Emirates official urges a quick end to the Iran-Israel war, warning of a 'difficult aftermath' if the conflict is prolonged.
Anwar Gargash, diplomatic advisor to the oil-rich UAE's President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, says the war was 'setting back' the wealthy Gulf region.
'The longer a war takes, the more dangerous it becomes,' he tells journalists in a briefing.
'I think any extended confrontation or war between Israel and Iran will only bring a very difficult aftermath.'
'De-escalation is extremely important,' Gargash says. 'We still feel that there is a path back to negotiations on these issues.'
'This war flies in the face of the regional order the Gulf countries want to build, which is focused on regional prosperity,' Gargash says.
'We feel that this is setting us back, not only us in the UAE, but I would say the region.'

Yemen : US Treasury Targets Houthis with Sanctions
The US on Friday said it has taken its single largest sanctions action to date against Yemen's Houthi militias, a key Iranian ally, by imposing sanctions on four people, 12 entities, and two ships that Washington alleges import oil and other goods for the group. Treasury's Deputy Secretary Michael Faulkender said Friday's action 'underscores our commitment to disrupting the Houthis' financial and shipping pipelines that enable their reckless behavior in the Red Sea and the surrounding region.' The Houthis have launched missile and drone attacks against commercial and military ships in the Red Sea corridor as an effort to end Israel's offensive in Gaza. They have also targeted Israel with long-range missiles. Also on Friday, the Trump administration issued fresh Iran-related sanctions, including on two entities based in Hong Kong, and counterterrorism-related sanctions, according to a notice posted to the Treasury Department's website. The sanctions target at least 20 entities, five individuals and three vessels, according to Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control.

Yemen : Houthis Say They Won't End Support for Gaza
A top leader of the Iran-backed-Houthi militias in Yemen said they will keep up their support for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip until Israeli 'aggression stops, and the siege is lifted.' 'Our operations in support of Gaza will not cease, no matter the sacrifices,' said Mahdi al-Mashat in a statement Wednesday. The Houthis are the last militant group in Iran's self-described 'Axis of Resistance' that is capable of regularly attacking Israel. They have been firing long-range missiles at Israel in the months since it resumed the war in Gaza, setting off air raid sirens but generally causing few casualties. They have also been attacking shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
