00:00 In a daring mission off the coast of Somalia, a team of Navy SEALs faced adversity when
00:07 two sailors were lost overboard during a search for a small boat.
00:12 Despite the tragic setback, the team pressed on and made a remarkable discovery -- Iranian
00:17 missile parts intended for Houthi rebels in Yemen.
00:21 The US military disclosed that the components included propulsion, guidance and warheads
00:26 for medium-range ballistic missiles and anti-ship cruise missiles.
00:31 This find sheds light on the connection between Iran and the Houthi attacks on international
00:37 shipping in the Red Sea, a critical maritime route.
00:40 The search and rescue mission for the missing sailors continues in the Gulf of Aden.
00:46 Operating from USS Levis B. Pillar, a mobile sea base assigned to the 5th Fleet in Bahrain,
00:52 a Navy SEAL team embarked on a mission to inspect an unflagged small boat known as a
00:57 dhaw, off the coast of Somalia.
01:00 With no proper documentation, the decision was made to board using a small vessel called
01:05 a Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boat (RHIB).
01:09 Tragically, during the boarding attempt, two sailors ended up overboard.
01:15 As the search for the missing sailors intensified, General Michael Eric Corrila, CENTCOM commander
01:20 emphasized their commitment to an exhaustive search.
01:24 The team detained the 14 crew members of the unflagged vessel, which lacked proper paperwork.
01:30 The confiscated missile parts were linked to Iran and intended for Houthi rebels.
01:35 As per international law, the detained crew will be addressed and the dhaw was sunk as
01:40 part of standard protocol.
01:42 General Corrila condemned Iran's actions, stating, "It is clear that Iran continued
01:48 shipment of advancement lethal aid to the Houthis, actively showing instability in direct
01:54 violation of international law."
01:58 The ongoing search for the missing sailors takes place against the backdrop of heightened
02:02 international tension on Yemen's Houthis.
02:05 Known for their attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden has become
02:10 a focal point.
02:12 The Houthis claim to target only Israel-linked ships, citing opposition to Israel's actions
02:17 in Gaza and expressing support for Iran-backed militants Hamas.
02:22 Despite these claims, the US and its allies have initiated a mission to safeguard this
02:27 crucial maritime route.
02:29 It is important to note that the SEAL's recent search was not part of the mission to protect
02:34 the maritime artery but rather a broader effort by Western allies to intercept the house suspected
02:40 of transporting Iranian weapons to the Houthis.
02:44 This is an accusation that Iran denies.
02:47 Recent events include a Houthi-launched anti-ship ballistic missile striking a US-owned container
02:52 ship, the MV Gibraltar Eagle, and a US fighter jet intercepting an anti-ship cruise missile
02:59 fired at an American destroyer in the Red Sea from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen.
03:05 This marks the first Houthi attack since US-led strikes targeted Houthi-controlled sites in
03:10 Yemen, including a radar site.
03:13 The situation remains dynamic as tensions persist in the region.
