Description:

US CENTCOM praised the Yemen Coast Guard on Sunday for intercepting "Iranian advanced weapon components, drones, and communications gear that was destined for the Iranian backed Houthi terrorists."

The seizure was conducted on February 12 as a Dhow boat attempted to smuggle the weapons in the southern Red Sea.

This comes after the Houthis threatened that it would continue attacking Israel and boats traversing the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden if the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip collapses.
