U.S. officials confirmed to Fox News on Wednesday that a U.S. Navy warship has intercepted a “significant cache” of what is thought to be missile parts from Iran headed to rebels in Yemen. This is the first time such high-level missile components have been seized en route to the four-year civil war in Yemen, officials said, where Iranians support the Houthi rebels. A small Navy boat and a Coast Guard boarding team seized the weapons last Wednesday in the northern Arabian Sea. Navy and Coast Guard personnel stopped the boat and boarded it for inspection when they found the weapons.
