US Navy Seals Seized Weapon Sent By Iran To Arm Houthi Rebel In The Red Sea by Botragelad(op): 2:30pm On Jan 16, 2024
The SEALs were on the USS Lewis B. Puller when they carried out the Jan 11 raid

US Navy SEALs have seized a haul of lethal weapons including warheads for balistic and anti-ship missiles that Central Command says were sent by Iran to arm Houthi rebels in the Red Sea.

Two sailors were lost at sea during the daring night-time raid off the coast of Somalia on January 11, and a desperate search has been underway to locate them in the days since.


The SEALs were on the USS Lewis B. Puller, a Navy expeditionary sea base vessel, and traveled in small special operations combat craft driven by naval special warfare crew to get to the boat.


As they were boarding it in rough seas, around 8pm local time, one SEAL slipped while trying to climb a ladder, reportedly knocked off by high waves, and a teammate went in after him.

The team who managed to board the small boat, known as a dhow, faced about a dozen crew members, who were taken into custody before the boat was searched and a cache of weapons was discovered.


The deadly haul comprises of the first Iranian-supplied advanced conventional weapons (ACW) to the Houthis, according to USCENTCOM

US Central Command shared pictures of some of the cargo of the dhow, which it said was raided on January 11

US Navy SEALs seized the vessel - known as a dhow - and sunk it after deeming it 'unsafe'

Re: US Navy Seals Seized Weapon Sent By Iran To Arm Houthi Rebel In The Red Sea by Badassniggga(m):
Lol so? I'm indifferent to this Red Sea and Houthis debacle but the US too are sending arms to Ukraine contributing to the war in a proxy, So I'll say it's kinda fair. This is just a case of a hypocrite trying to prevent another party from doing what he does best --> send free arms to rebels/armies to fight in a proxy war. Nothing to see here abeg.
