This should not be taken lightly.
The aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt left the Persian Gulf on Sunday and is headed toward Yemen, where there are already three U.S. amphibious ships and two destroyers, CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports.
The Roosevelt was sent in response to a convoy of seven to nine Iranian ships which appear bound for Yemen and which could be carrying arms.

There are about nine U.S. ships in the region, including cruisers and destroyers carrying teams that can board and search other vessels.

Here’s a thought. What are they trying to distract us from today? Clinton Cash?
Intercept.......yeah riiiight. Gawd who knows anymore with these people in charge? Could be just for show? Then have USA back down to embarrass the troops even more?
What about those Americans stuck in Yemen?
....now admitted by the Obama regime that a half billion in US military hardware in Yemen can not be accounted for...... Some of the hardware is believed to be in the hands of the Iranian backed Houthi militia. It is also likely that al-Qaeda is now using some of this equipment.
