This is the best summary I could come up with:

A US Navy warship has captured armed men who seized an Israeli-linked tanker off the coast of Yemen on Sunday, US defence officials say.

US Central Command reported that two missiles were then fired towards the warship from rebel Houthi-controlled territory in the country.

Zodiac Maritime said that among the 22 crew were Russian, Vietnamese, Bulgarian, Indian, Georgian and Filipino nationals, as well as a Turkish captain.

The rebels are reported to have threatened to attack the tanker, which was carrying phosphoric acid, if it did not divert to a Yemeni port.

Five armed individuals then tried to escape on a fast boat but were chased by the USS Mason and they eventually surrendered, the statement added.

The Houthis have been locked in a prolonged civil war with Yemen’s official government - backed by Saudi Arabia - since 2014.

Everyone who has ever argued against militaries patrolling foreign waters just lost their argument. This is why.

Ya Iran is literally calling themselves the Axis. They need a better marketing team.
