    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    A US Navy admiral says the conflict against the Houthis in the Red Sea is one of the largest naval battles the US has fought in decades.

    “I think you’d have to go back to World War II where you have ships who are engaged in combat,” Vice Adm. Brad Cooper told “60 Minutes” host Norah O’Donnell in an interview that aired Sunday.

    Cooper told 60 Minutes that it is “crystal clear” that the Houthis couldn’t have mounted these attacks without Iranian support.

    On Thursday, the US Central Command said the US Coast Guard seized over 200 packages of illegal weapons bound for Yemen last month.

    According to the US Central Command’s statement, the shipment, which included ballistic missile components and explosives, had originated in Iran.

    And every single day they attempt to attack us, we’re eliminating and disrupting them in ways that are meaningful," Cooper told O’Donnell.
