Iran sends navy vessels to waters off Yemen, raising stakes
Iran dispatched a destroyer and another naval ship to waters off Yemen on Wednesday, raising the stakes amid a Saudi-led air campaign targeting Iranian-backed Shiite rebels fighting forces loyal to the country's embattled president.
The Iranian maneuver came as the US deepened its support for the Saudi-led coalition, boosting weapons supplies and intelligence-sharing and carrying out the first US aerial refueling mission of coalition fighter jets.
