Navy SEALs Seized Iranian Weapons Bound for Houthis, U.S. Says | National Review

The U.S. Navy successfully seized Iranian weapons bound for Yemen-based Houthis in the military branch’s first reported interdiction operation. Navy SEALs obtained missile components and warheads on a dhow sent from Iran to Houthi rebels on Thursday. The Navy boarded the dhow off the coast of Somalia in the Arabian Sea, seizing various weapons parts belonging to ballistic and anti-ship cruise missiles. Two Navy SEALs went missing during the maneuver. One was climbing a ladder aboard a vessel during the overnight mission when high waves knocked him into the water, prompting the other to rescue him. Neither man has been seen since Thursday, however the waters are warm and the Navy thinks they may still be alive.
