Sanaa, April 21 (RHC)-- The United States has dispatched its warships near Yemen as Saudi Arabia's aggression continues against the Arab world's poorest country. U.S. Central Command moved the ships due to the situation in Yemen, said Colonel Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, on Monday, further denying reports that the move aimed at the interception of Iranian ships present in the region.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon confirmed that the carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and the cruiser USS Normandy have been dispatched to the region. A U.S. Navy statement said that in recent days, the Navy "has increased its presence in this area as a result of the current instability in Yemen," claiming that "the purpose of these operations is to ensure the vital shipping lanes in the region remain open and safe."
