Washington. January 10th. INTERFAX - US ships stopped a ship in the Gulf of Oman that was smuggling more than 2 thousand AK-47 assault rifles, the Central Command of the US Armed Forces (CENTCOM) reported.

"This cargo is related to Iran's ongoing destabilizing activity," Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, head of the CENTCOM Navy, said in a statement.

"Together with our partners, CENTCOM will prevent the transportation of such dangerous goods to the region - by sea, by air, by land," General Michael Kurilla, the head of CENTCOM, promised in turn.

The interception of the vessel was carried out by the crew of the US coastal patrol ship USS Chinook. During the operation, he was assisted by the coastal patrol ship USS Monsoon and the destroyer USS The Sullivans.

The armed conflict in Yemen has been going on since March 2014. The Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia supports the troops of Yemeni President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi in their confrontation with the Houthi rebels who control part of the country. In the West, they say that Iran supports the rebels.
