US forces raid ship, seize cargo headed to Iran from China

SUMMARY

A U.S. special operations team intercepted a ship in the Indian Ocean last month while it was on route to Iran from China. They seized military-related items deemed useful for Iran's conventional weapons.

The shipment was later destroyed.

The operation took place several hundred miles off the coast of Sri Lanka, and the ship was subsequently allowed to continue its journey.
