US seized Iranian missile parts headed for the Houthi rebels after SEALs went missing

US Navy SEALs seized Iranian missile parts and other weapons from a ship headed for Yemen’s Houthi rebels last week that provide a clear “example of how Iran actively sows instability throughout the region,” officials said.

The Jan. 11 raid was the latest seizure by the US and its allies of weapons bound for the rebels, who continue to attack commercial vessels in the Red Sea in response to the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.

US Central Command’s Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla said two missing commandos were “directly involved” in the operation, which took place in rough waters. As the SEALs were working to get to the boat, one got knocked over by a high wave before a teammate dove in after him.
