US gives Ukraine seized Iranian weapons that were headed to Houthis<\/h3>\n

By Jonathan Lehrfeld<\/strong><\/p>\n

The U.S. redirected thousands of weapons to Ukraine earlier this month that it seized from an Iranian group attempting to smuggle the munitions to Yemen\u2019s Houthi militants, the Middle East-based U.S. Central Command said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

More than 5,000 AK-47 rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles and rocket launchers, as well as more than 500,000 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, were transferred to the Ukrainian armed forces on April 4, according to CENTCOM.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese weapons will help Ukraine defend against Russia\u2019s invasion,\u201d the command said in a social media post.<\/p>\n

The move comes as Ukraine has run low on munitions to defend itself, and as the U.S. seeks to disrupt Iran\u2019s efforts to bolster proxy groups like the Houthis that threaten regional security.<\/p>\n

The Houthis have launched launched near-daily attacks on commercial and military ships in the Middle East since the fall.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
