WASHINGTON — The United States is seeking the forfeiture of more than one million rounds of ammunition intercepted by the US Navy en route to militants in Yemen as part of a larger investigation into an Iranian weapons-smuggling network, the Justice Department said Friday.
“The United States disrupted a major operation by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to smuggle weapons of war into the hands of a militant group in Yemen," US Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.
