Combating Houthi Threats and Aggression Act

HR 2052 requires the President to submit annual reports to Congress assessing the Houthis' military capabilities, their attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, and violations of the UN arms embargo against Yemen. These reports must detail Houthi funding sources (including Iran), weapons systems, economic impacts, and Iran's role in supporting attacks. The bill also authorizes sanctions against foreign individuals or entities that support Houthi attacks on shipping or provide military aid, including asset blocking and visa denials. The sanctions apply to those responsible for or complicit in such attacks, with limited waiver options for national security. The bill's reporting and sanction requirements expire five years after enactment.
