U.S. carrier moving off coast of Yemen to block Iranian arms shipments


(Worthy News)–
The aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt has moved off the coast of Yemen to prepare to intercept potential shipments of Iranian weapons to the rebels fighting the U.S.-backed government of Yemen, Pentagon officials told the USA Today on Monday.

Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, said the carrier and ships supporting her had been in the Persian Gulf. They moved to the waters near Yemen because of increased instability there, he said.

The Roosevelt is also tracking a convoy of Iranian ships headed to the Gulf of Aden, said two Defense officials speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the Iranian vessels. The Iranians have been supporting Houthi rebels in Yemen. –[wp_colorbox_media url=”http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2015/04/20/carrier-intercepts-iranian-arms/26082755/” type=”iframe” hyperlink=”Source”]
