Guns

Thousands of illicit weapons are displayed onboard the guided-missile cruiser USS Monterey.

That's a bunch of guns, easily a million dollars worth, even if you are buying them wholesale.

Wild images show thousands of assault weapons, machine guns and sniper rifles the US Navy says it found on a sailing ship believed to be bringing them from Iran to support the war in Yemen. - New York Post
Presumably the boat that was carrying the weapons

On one hand I'm kind of opposed to restricting rebel's access to weapons. That's what the UN does and it has resulted in several disasters. On the other, sometimes you need to choose what side you're on, and Iran is pretty obviously on the other side. If a proxy war is what you want, a proxy war is what you get.
