Iran is ‘directly involved’ in Yemen Houthi rebel ship attacks, U.S. Navy’s Mideast chief tells AP
Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, the head of the Navy’s 5th Fleet, stopped short of saying Tehran directed individual attacks by the Houthis in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
However, Cooper acknowledged that attacks associated with Iran have expanded from previously threatening just the Persian Gulf and its Strait of Hormuz into waters across the wider Middle East.
"We targeted the American military cargo vessel 'OCEAN JAZZ' with anti-ship ballistic missiles in the Red Sea," claims Yemen's Ansarullah
