American Marine on a Mission to Deter Iran

By Valarie

Yesterday, US sent out 2 more ships to add to the ten ships that are already guarding the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. The US claims that the marine vessels are just an action of swaggering, and serve the purpose of monitoring the waters to ensure Iran does not supply Yemen with ammunition for the war. The ships are used to ensure that sea lanes are left open and no illegal activities are going on in the area. The additional two ships are joining the other vessels to "interdict arms shipments and evacuate civilians when need arises".
