Combating Houthi Threats and Aggression Act

HR 8001 requires the President to submit annual reports to Congress on Houthi capabilities, attacks threatening Red Sea/Gulf of Aden shipping, and violations of the UN arms embargo against Yemen. It mandates detailed assessments of Houthi military capacity, Iranian support, weapons systems, and the economic impact of attacks on global trade. The bill authorizes sanctions - including asset blocking and visa bans - against foreign entities supporting Houthi attacks on international shipping or supplying weapons to the Houthis. These sanctions directly affect foreign individuals and organizations deemed responsible for aiding Houthi aggression in the Red Sea region. The law expires five years after enactment.
