US Navy Seals special forces troops seized allegedly Iranian-made missile parts and other weaponry from a ship bound for Yemen in a raid last week that left two commandos missing, the US military said today.

Meanwhile, another ship came under fire in the Red Sea and sustained some damage, though no-one was wounded, officials said. The forces of Yemen’s Houthi-led government were suspected of carrying out the attack.

In a separate development, Iraq said it had recalled its ambassador from Tehran for consultations about Iranian air strikes on northern Iraq.
