据报道，美国海军发言人周二表示，美国海军在阿曼湾的一艘船只上缴获了2100多支突击步枪，该船被认为来自伊朗，将被运往也门胡塞武装。

据称，这是最近一次发生在阿拉伯世界最贫穷国家的武器缴获事件。

据报道，上周五，一支来自飓风级海岸巡逻艇“奇努克”号的专业小组登上了一艘传统的木制帆船，这艘帆船通常被称为单桅帆船。

海军第五舰队发言人蒂莫西·霍金斯少校解释说，他们在船上发现了用绿色防水布包裹的卡拉什尼科夫式步枪。

奇努克号拥有一艘被称为“季风号”的巡逻艇和一艘被命名为“苏利文斯号”的导弹驱逐舰，拥有全部武器。

它们与早些时候被海军缴获的其他突击步枪非常相似，怀疑是从伊朗运到也门的。

霍金斯补充说，也门船员将被遣返到也门政府控制的地区。

自2014年也门内战爆发以来，联合国武装一直禁止向胡塞地区输送武器。

长期以来，伊朗一直否认向胡塞武装提供武器，尽管它一直在通过海上渠道向也门民兵输送步枪、导弹、火箭推进榴弹和其他武器。

独立专家、联合国专家和西方国家已经追查到其他被扣押船只上缴获的部件来自伊朗。

伊朗驻联合国代表团周二没有立即回应记者的置评请求。

胡塞武装最终在2014年(9月)占领了也门首都萨那，迫使得到国际承认的也门政府***海外。

多年来没有结果的战斗迫使这个阿拉伯世界最贫穷的国家几乎陷入饥荒。

也门战争是持续时间最长的冲突，为期6个月的停火协议于10月到期，尽管外交努力支持延长停火。

这导致人们担心战争可能再次升级。

冲突期间，也门有超过15万人丧生，其中包括1.45万多名平民。

停火协议终止后，尽管国际谈判代表一直在努力为这场战争制定政治解决方案，但仍有零星袭击发生。

2022年11月，美国海军在肥料袋中发现了70吨导弹燃料组件，据称来自伊朗，正驶向也门。

The US Navy reportedly seized more than 2,100 assault rifles from a vessel in the Gulf of Oman it believes came from Iran and were bound for Yemen’s Houthi militia, a Navy spokesman informed on Tuesday. It was the most recent weapons-capture event allegedly heading to the poorest country of the Arab world.

The seizure occurred last Friday after a specialized team from the USS Chinook, a Cyclone-class coastal patrol boat, reportedly boarded a traditional wooden sailing vessel popularly called a dhow. They discovered Kalashnikov-style rifles were wrapped in green tarps on the vessel, explained Cmdr. Timothy Hawkins is a spokesman for the Navy’s Mideast-based 5th Fleet.

The Chinook, with the patrol boat dubbed USS Monsoon and the guided-missile destroyer named USS The Sullivans, took complete possession of weapons. They closely resembled other assault rifles that were earlier seized by the Navy, suspected to be from Iran and heading to Yemen.

The Yemeni crew members, Hawkins added, will be repatriated to a government-controlled part of Yemen. Since 2014, A UN arms embargo has been prohibiting weapons transfers to the Houthis when the civil war in Yemen erupted.

Iran has long been denying empowering the Houthis even as it has been transferring rifles, missiles, rocket-propelled grenades, and other weaponry via sea channels to the Yemeni militia. Independent specialists, UN experts, and Western nations have traced the components seized onboard other detained vessels back to Iran.

Iran’s mission to the UN did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday.

The Houthis ended up seizing Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, in 2014 (September) and compelled the internationally recognized government to be in exile. Years of inconclusive fighting have forced the Arab world’s poorest country to almost famine.

A six-month ceasefire in Yemen’s war, the longest conflict, expired in October despite diplomatic efforts in favour of renewing it. That resulted in fears that the fighting could escalate again. Over 150,000 individuals have lost their lives in Yemen during the conflict, including over 14,500 civilians.

There have been sporadic attacks since the ceasefire ceased, even though international negotiators have been trying to devise a political solution to this war.

In November 2022, the Navy discovered 70 tons of a missile fuel component hidden among fertilizer bags, allegedly from Iran, and was sailing to Yemen.
