The US is now designating the Deputy Commander of Iran ' s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps - Qods Force ( IRGC - QF ) , who has been supporting the Houthis ' aggressive actions . They are also designating the owner and operator of a ship that has been transporting Iranian commodities for the Houthis and IRGC - QF . This action is being done in partnership with the UK as part of our global fight against terrorism . It comes after the recent US designation of the Houthis as a Global Terrorist due to their attacks on international maritime commerce in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden . Additionally , two other companies involved in shipping Iranian commodities worth over $100 million on behalf of Iran ' s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics ( MODAFL ) are also being designated . MODAFL has been facilitating the delivery of Iranian weapons to Russia and Iran - aligned militia groups in the Middle East . The US and its allies are committed to countering terrorist financing and will do whatever it takes to disrupt Houthi attacks on international shipping in the region . These designations were made under Executive Order 13224 , as amended . For more information , you can check out the Treasury ' s press release .
