US captures thousands of weapons being transported from Iran to Yemen

 Daily Mail:

Navy seizes THOUSANDS of Chinese and Russian assault weapons, sniper rifles and anti-tank missiles hidden on ship 'sailing from Iran to Yemen' in the Arabian Sea 
The U.S. Fifth Fleet discovered the weapons aboard a ship in the Arabian Sea off Oman and Pakistan 
The Navy found nearly 3,000 Chinese Type 56 assault rifles, a variant of the Kalashnikov, hundreds of other heavy machine guns and sniper rifles, and dozens of advanced, Russian-made anti-tank guided missiles 
The weapons appeared to be bound for Yemen to support the country's Houthi rebels, Navy officials say 
Navy's initial investigation found the vessel came from Iran. Tehran has previously denied providing rebels with weapons
This recent seizure appeared to be among the biggest in recent years amid the long- running war in Yemen

There are several photos of the weapons cache displayed on a ship.  The Biden administration seems to be unaware of the strategic plot by Iran to threaten the waterways in the Red Sea from a base in Yemen which would also be used to attack Saudi Arabia and Oman.
