William Urban, the lead spokesman for U.S. Central Command, told reporters Wednesday that the seized missile components were \u201crelatively new\u201d Iranian-manufactured missiles that have not been \u201cwidely distributed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/flashpoints\/2020\/02\/13\/us-warship-boards-small-boat-and-seizes-iranian-anti-tank-guided-missiles-among-other-advanced-weaponry\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/missiles.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">US warship boards small boat and seizes Iranian anti-tank guided missiles among other advanced weaponry<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Weapons and sensitive tech captured during the ship boarding included 150 Dehlavieh anti-tank guided missiles, three Iranian surface-to-air missiles, Iranian thermal scopes, and Iranian parts for unmanned systems, among other advanced parts.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Urban explained that the missile systems had not been seen in Yemen prior to the conflict. He said the shipments of the advanced weaponry fit a pattern carried out by Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Urban said there have been six ship interdictions by American warships in the CENTCOM area of responsibility over the last five years involving illicit smuggling of arms to Iranian proxies in the region. Two of the ship boardings have occurred within the last four months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sherman boarded a small vessel in Nov. 2019, and recently the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser Normandy interdicted a boat in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Urban told reporters that the recent seizures were not necessarily a sign of an uptick in Iranian operations to supply proxy militias across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dvidshub.net\/video\/embed\/739457\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said that ship interdictions in the CENTCOM are a relatively \u201cdifficult process\u201d that sometimes involves luck due to the vastness of the sea and the relatively small ships smuggling illicit arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the seized weapons included more than 100 Iranian Dehlavieh anti-tank guided missiles. The Sherman captured components for the Noor anti-ship cruise missile, Urban told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Urban said Iran was behind the illicit smuggling of the advanced weaponry bound for Houthis in Yemen. Anti-tank missiles \u201cdon\u2019t just walk away without the sanction of the Iranian government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ship seizures also included Iranian
