The seizure, which unfolded in the Arabian Sea on March 28, was the third of its kind in recent weeks, military officials say. Iran has been supporting Houthi rebels in Yemen in their proxy war against a Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States. Like Iran, the Houthis are a Shia-led group. The arms shipment appears to mark the latest provocative action from the Islamic republic. On Friday, President Obama said Iran was obeying the "letter" of its landmark nuclear agreement with the West, but not the "spirit" of it. The Navy said the shipment included 1,500 AK-47s, 200 rocket-propelled grenade launchers and 21 .50-caliber machine guns.[/QUOTE]

Huh, crazy. I just handed in a final paper on the current conflict in Yemen. Interesting to see this, because what I had seen up until now was that claims of Iranian support for the Houthi was tenuous. I don't think this will change much though, regarding the coalition and the conflict in Yemen.

now all we need to do is make a monument out of these captured weapons and show those iranian meanies that we're not to be reckoned with!!!

Why do I get a sense of candy when I see all those RPG:s
