U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) reported, “U.S. Navy SEALs operating from USS Lewis B Puller, supported by helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), executed a complex boarding of the dhow near the coast of Somalia in international waters of the Arabian Sea, seizing Iranian-made ballistic missile and cruise missiles components.”
“Seized items include propulsion, guidance, and warheads for Houthi medium range ballistic missiles (MRBMs) and anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs), as well as air defense associated components. Initial analysis indicates these same weapons have been employed by the Houthis to threaten and attack innocent mariners on international merchant ships transiting in the Red Sea,” the report continued.
“The direct or indirect supply, sale, or transfer of weapons to the Houthis in Yemen violates U.N. Security Resolution 2216 and international law,” wrote USCENTCOM.
“Two U.S. Navy SEALs previously reported as lost at sea were directly involved in this operation,” the statement continued.
“We are conducting an exhaustive search for our missing teammates,” said USCENTCOM Commander, General Michael Erik Kurilla.
“It is clear that Iran continues shipment of advanced lethal aid to the Houthis. This is yet another example of how Iran actively sows instability throughout the region in direct violation of U.N. Security Resolution 2216 and international law,” he continued.
“We will continue to work with regional and international partners to expose and interdict these efforts, and ultimately to reestablish freedom of navigation,” added the general.
Iran also launched ballistic missiles that landed near the U.S. Consulate in Erbil, Iraq, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps taking responsibility.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC),claimed the targets were “headquarters of spies” and “anti-Iranian terrorist gatherings in parts of the region”.
No American casualties were reported.
