The Saudi-led coalition intercepted a boat carrying light weapons of Iranian origin bound for war-wracked Yemen, Saudi and US officials said today amid a US push in the United Nations Security Council toward renewing an international arms embargo on Tehran.
What appeared to be recoilless, anti-material, and Kalashnikov-style rifles, as well as thermal scopes and documents written in Farsi, were reportedly among the cargo of a dhow seized by Arab coalition forces off western Yemen’s port city of Mocha in April, according to images and statements released by coalition officials.
