The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called for international action against the Islamic Republic of Iran after US seized an Iranian weapons shipment bound for Houthi rebels in Yemen.
“The US Navy interdicted 358 Iranian-made missiles + other weapons components on their way to the Houthis in Yemen. This is another example of the world’s largest state sponsor of terror the Islamic Republic of Iran continuing to defy the UN Security Council,” Pompeo wrote on Twitter.
The US military said that the weapons were seized on Sunday and that they were “identical” to those seized by another US warship in November.
“The world must reject Iran’s violence and act now to renew the expiring UN arms embargo on Iran,” Pompeo said.
The weapons are reportedly under US custody and allies were invited for further inspection.
