  French special forces boarded an Iranian smuggling vessel bound for Yemen and recovered thousands of assault rifles and anti-tank missiles this month.
  A French warship halted a suspected smuggling vessel off the Yemeni coast on Jan. 15, sending French special forces operators to board and search the ship.
  "One of the IRGCN vessels approached Sirocco head-on at a dangerously high speed and only altered course after the U.S. patrol coastal ship issued audible warning signals to avoid collision. The Iranian vessel also came within 50 yards of the U.S. Navy ship during the interaction, and Sirocco responded by deploying a warning flare," the U.S. Navy said of the incident.
