Houthi militia pumps large quantities of counterfeit Iranian oil into areas under its control.

Houthi Militias Flood Local Market with Contaminated Oil

The Houthi militia has recently introduced significant quantities of contaminated oil into the local market in areas under its control. This action raises serious concerns about the quality of fuel available to residents and the potential impact on vehicles.

Drivers Report Issues with Contaminated Fuel

Drivers in the affected regions have reported that the Houthi militia has forcefully distributed large amounts of Iranian-contaminated oil to provinces under its authority. Many drivers have expressed frustration over the consequences of using this substandard fuel. They claim that it has damaged their vehicles, leading to breakdowns and even traffic accidents due to mechanical failures.

Poor Quality Oil Raises Alarm

According to the drivers, the contaminated oil has been available at most fuel stations for several days. They suspect that this oil is smuggled from Iran and exhibits extremely poor quality. The drivers emphasize that the fuel’s substandard characteristics have caused significant operational issues for their vehicles.

Houthi Strategy Amid Sanctions

Experts believe that the militia began stockpiling imported oil through the port of Hodeidah after being designated as a “foreign terrorist organization.” This move appears to be a strategic response to the impending ban on importing petroleum products through the Hodeidah port, set to take effect in early April. The militia’s actions suggest a calculated effort to circumvent sanctions and maintain control over fuel supplies in the region.

Conclusion

The introduction of contaminated oil by the Houthi militia poses a serious threat to vehicle safety and operational efficiency in the affected areas. As the situation develops, drivers and residents remain vigilant about the quality of fuel available in their local markets.
