The ammunition ended up in the hands of the United States as a result of the interception of a sea vessel.
According to published data, the cartridges were intended for the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The United States military commanders determined that the ammunition was intended for the Houthi movement in Yemen, which is supported by Tehran.
The statement said that the United States and its allies continue to fight the flow of Iranian aid by all legal means.
