The US Navy has reported that it seized weapons sent by Iran to resupply Yemen’s Houthi rebels last week.
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced in a statement on Tuesday that US Navy Seals found the arms during a night-time raid on a ship in the Arabian Sea on January 11. Iran has denied any link to the Houthis’ campaign of attacks in the Red Sea, which have disrupted global trade.
The raid on a dhow near the coast of Somalia last week uncovered “lethal” advanced conventional weapons, the statement said. The Iranian-made ballistic missiles and cruise missile components were seized by the US forces.
The seizure comes at a time of rising violence in the region linked to Israel’s war on Gaza. The Houthis, who control most of Yemen’s Red Sea coast, have been attacking commercial ships that they say are linked to Israel or bound for Israeli ports. Launched in November, the offensive is, according to the Yemeni group, intended as defence of Palestinians.

This is frightening. Something is seriously wrong with Iran. Why do they want make this area into a vulcano that may erupt at any time.
@VengefulOatmealGreen5mos5MO
Israel's occupation and settlements are also direct violations of U.N Security Resolutions. Yet the US does noting about those violations. I guess you can pick and choose which resolution to enforce.
@Pr0gressiveClamRepublican5mos5MO
Iran is the root of the problem.
But for the Houthi symptomatic issue, we just need to:
1- Designate the Houthis as an FTO.
2- Intensify the US-led aerial campaign.
3- Support a genuine anti-Houthi force on the ground in Yemen.
This will not only deter Houthis, but it will also degrade Iran’s capabilities in the region.
@VengefulOatmealGreen5mos5MO
The United States and Israel, and UK, are the root of the problem

For some reason the realisation that we, living thousands of miles across a tempestuous ocean, are trying to fund proxy-wars, missile strikes, and regimes in this war-torn land, hazarding a Third World War that will extinguish hundreds of millions of innocent lives is slightly more discomforting than contemplations of the corruption in Iran...

What gives US navy jurisdiction over international waters?

@9J5M48W5mos5MO
If Iran is being supported by American and Yemen’s Houthis are attacking America the. Why support them?
@9J5LDCQ5mos5MO
I think it's terrible that we will have a war with Iran

BOII wasn't meant to be a prediction
@9J5J3TD5mos5MO
I feel that it is most important as it has directly to do with our military presence.
@9J5FXDH5mos5MO
We should focus efforts on a permanent ceasefire in Palestine and occupied territories
@9J5BT765mos5MO
US has no business interfering in the conflict
@9J59VGD5mos5MO
Seems concerning that the US is getting involved in conflicts
