Iran Warns U.S. on Yemen Aid Ship
(Politico) Nick Gass - Gen. Masoud Jazayeri, the Iranian deputy chief of staff, warned the U.S. not to stop an aid ship from Iran heading to Yemen, saying that doing so would "spark a fire." Iranian officials maintain that the ship is carrying food, medicine, rescue workers and peace activists. U.S. Army Col. Steve Warren said American forces are keeping an eye on the ship. A Saudi military spokesman said Tuesday that if Iran wants to deliver humanitarian aid, it should coordinate through the UN.
