TL;DR Summary

A team of Navy SEALs searching a small boat off the coast of Somalia found Iranian missile parts bound for Houthi rebels in Yemen after losing two sailors overboard. The U.S. military is conducting a search and rescue mission in the Gulf of Aden for the missing sailors. The seized missile components included propulsion, guidance, and warheads for medium-ranged ballistic missiles and anti-ship cruise missiles, which were the same type of weapons used by the Houthis to attack international shipping in the Red Sea. The U.S. and its allies have started an international mission to protect the vital maritime artery, and the SEALs' search was part of the broader practice to apprehend dhows ferrying Iranian weapons to the Houthis.
