ALBAWABA - In a statement on X, formerly Twitter, The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced seizing "Iranian Advanced Conventional Weapons Bound for Houthis".
The statement says that a U.S. Navy forces troop conducted a night-time seizure of a dhow conducting illegal transport of advanced lethal aid from Iran to resupply Houthi forces in Yemen as part of the Houthis’ ongoing campaign of attacks against international merchant shipping.
This seizure operation counts as a first of its nature, conquering lethal, Iranian-supplied advanced conventional weapons (ACW) to the Houthis since the beginning of Houthi attacks against merchant ships in November 2023.
U.S. Army General Michael Erik Kurilla said: "It is clear that Iran continues shipment of advanced lethal aid to the Houthis. This is yet another example of how Iran actively sows instability throughout the region in direct violation of U.N Security Resolution 2216 and International law,".
