US Navy Seals boarded a boat heading for Yemen and seized Iranian-made missile components and other weaponry bound for Houthi forces, in an operation in which two Seal commandos went missing, the US military has said.
US Central Command (Centcom) posted pictures of the missile parts on X, including what appeared to be the components of a complete small missile, rocket motors and guidance systems, as well as a photograph of the small cargo vessel that was allegedly carrying the arms.
The seizure followed US and UK airstrikes on Houthi positions in an effort to stop the Yemeni rebels’ attacks on shipping passing through the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The incident, which Centcom said took place last Thursday, illustrated the potential for the conflict to continue to spread and draw in Iran directly, as the US and its allies seek to cut off the Houthis’ arms supplies.
Send to Ukraine.
I mean, maybe the US should still send them to the Houthis – just at a higher than originally planned velocity.
- So we’re all just going to ignore the humanitarian crisis Saudi Arabia caused in Yemen with US weapons because some terrorists came out of a poverty stricken area like they always do?
Yup. I’ve mentioned it a couple of times, but most people seem to think or at least pretend that the Houthi terrorists came out of nowhere for no reason and suggesting otherwise gets you downvoted a lot.
I think most people don’t know anything about the Houthi.
“According to Ahmed Addaghashi, a professor at Sanaa University, the Houthis began as a moderate theological movement that preached tolerance and held a broad-minded view of all the Yemeni peoples. Their first organization, “the Believing Youth” (BY), was founded in 1992 in Saada Governorate: 1008 by either Mohammed al-Houthi,: 98 or his brother Hussein al-Houthi.”
The Yemen government has neglected sharing wealth with the north. This what provided the Houthi movement the reasons to exist.
So disgusting how so many American “leftists” come in here celebrating bombing people like it’s a game.
apparently at the cost of two Seals, fuck Iran
Soon. Very soon.
