TL;DR Summary

Four alleged weapons smugglers linked to the deaths of two U.S. Navy SEALs have been brought to the U.S. to face criminal charges after being intercepted by a U.S. Navy ship in the Arabian Sea. The defendants were found transporting Iranian-made advanced conventional weaponry believed to be destined for Yemen, likely intended for Houthi rebels. The SEALs drowned during the mission, and the defendants have been charged with providing false information to investigators and unlawfully transporting explosive material. The U.S. military has conducted defensive strikes targeting the Houthis in response to ongoing attacks on ships in the Red Sea.
