| No Iran warships escorting Yemen-bound cargo ship |

| [REUTERS] Iran has so far refrained from deploying warships to accompany a fat merchantman that Tehran says is carrying humanitarian aid to Yemen, despite its announced plans to do so, Pentagon front man Colonel Steve Warren told a news briefing on Thursday. Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... said on Wednesday that if Iran does not allow a fat merchantman bound for the Arabian Peninsula to be searched, then Tehran "bears complete responsibility for any incident that arises from their attempt to enter Yemeni waters." The United States has criticized Iran's announced plans to send the ship directly to Yemen and urged Tehran to redirect the ship to Djibouti, from where the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... is coordinating aid distribution. |
