The U.S. Navy intercepted an Iranian fishing vessel in the Gulf of Oman carrying 2,000 AK-47 “assault rifles” bound for Yemen on Friday, the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command announced Tuesday.
A team from the USS Chinook, a patrol coastal ship, boarded the Iranian vessel, which was sailing in the Gulf of Oman on a route historically used to traffic weapons from Iran to Yemen’s Houthis, a jihadist organization that the Biden administration delisted as terrorists.
“The USS Chinook was supported by the cyclone-class patrol ship USS Monsoon and the guided-missile destroyer USS The Sullivans,” the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command detailed.

Deer season coming up in Yemen.
Coming soon to a IRS office near you!................
I’ll take a couple.
I’ll take a couple.
You hijacked your own thread!
Me too.
An AK will run forever even if it is beat to sh**.
Silly people - only the USA is allowed to send weapons into others people’s civil wars.
There’s nothing quite like a Yemeni night chewing on some Yemeni deer jerky, not drinking any booze, as a zephyr howls amongst the stars...
Hunting season. Heh. “ It’s the second week of jahad camp, and all the guys are here. We play with sheep and shoot the bull but never shoot the deer…”
Depends on where they were made. If its the Bulgarian ones I’ll take three. Bt ammo might be hard to find now.
I expect Washington’s lackeys lack any legitimate legal authority for this act of piracy, as they carry water for the Saudi regime.
Just wondering, why was it OK for Obama/Biden to sell M-16s to Mexican drug lords but now Biden doesn't want bad guys from Yemen to have AK-47s?
And Biden restarted sending money to Palestinian terrorists that President Trump had halted as well.
America - World Police.
Wonder where and when these guns were made.
I suspect this fishing vessel (dhow?) was within some OMANI proclaimed maritime exclusion zone which may be 30+ miles beyond the three mile limit and the US has been given zonal operation rights by the very pro-US Omanis. Navigation zones in the Gulf are incredibly complicated.
The Sullivans and the Monsoon are both pretty old ships, unless the Sullivans is one of the newsest destroyer class.
Did they surrender to the Iranian fishing boat?
