The U.S. Navy seized two thousand Kalashnikov rifles from Iran
The U.S. Navy announced that it seized a fishing vessel that was transporting 2,116 Kalashnikov rifles from Iran to Yemen
According to the U.S. Navy’s public relations, Brad Cooper, the commander of these forces in the Middle East, said this shipment is part of Iran’s usual behavior to destabilize the region
The U.S. Navy states that it seized the ship and its cargo based on United Nations Security Council Resolution 2216
Admiral Cooper said, ‘We are aware of these threats and will remain vigilant against any maritime activity that endangers freedom of navigation and regional security’
Iran has not yet reacted to this news, but in similar previous cases, Tehran has denied any military assistance to the Yemeni Houthi rebels
