nautical American announced this Saturday that he intercepted in fishing boat one million rounds, in addition to thousands rocket launchersent from Iran to the territory Yemen controlled Houthi rebels.

This batch of weapons was discovered on Thursday during a “flag check” of the US Fifth Fleet, which is based in Bahrain.

nautical He specified that this was “the second major seizure of illegal weapons in the last month” along this sea route.

Vice Admiral Brad Cooper Accused Iran of “illicitly sending lethal aid” and chided Iran for “destabilizing behavior,” the statement said.

Iran denies arms delivery

Iranian authorities say they support the Houthi rebels, but deny sending them weapons.

The fishing boat intercepted on Thursday was carrying about 7,000 rocket launchers and “fuel used to launch RPG missiles,” the statement said.

The US Navy had already announced in November that it had seized “materials that could be used to make rocket fuel as well as explosives” on a ship from Iran destined for Yemeni rebels.

The war in Yemen that began in 2014 has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and triggered one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.

A UN-brokered truce in April gave the devastated country a six-month respite, but was not renewed after it was struck in late October.
