I note this language in the news, for what it's worth: an Iranian convoy is under constant surveillance by U.S. Navy warplanes and
is believed to be loaded with weapons for rebels based in Yemen.
So nobody knows, however, but there may be probable cause since the two freighters are being accompanied by five naval frigates.
The news also reports that aircraft are keeping the flotilla under observation.
It will come to the test when the Egyptian and Saudi ships have to make a stand or let them pass.
