Zitat:US and French forces seized Iranian-supplied weapons and ammunition bound for Yemenhttps://edition.cnn.com/2023/02/01/polit...index.html
CNN — The US Navy assisted the French military in seizing thousands of assault rifles and half a million rounds of ammunition that were heading to Yemen from Iran in January, the US military confirmed on Wednesday. The seizure in the Gulf of Oman occurred on January 15, according to 5th Fleet spokesman Cmdr. Tim Hawkins.
“US 5th Fleet assets assisted partner maritime forces in the interdiction by sharing information and helping coordinate the overall effort,” Hawkins said. “We also ultimately took custody of the confiscated weapons through a ship-to-ship transfer with partner forces.” [...] US Central Command confirmed on Wednesday that more than 3,000 assault rifles, 578,000 rounds of ammunition, and 23 anti-tank guided missiles were seized last month. CENTCOM personnel “provided valuable and timely information to international forces conducting the interdiction,” the release says, “and helped coordinate the supporting efforts of US military assets.”
