Weapons on a ship – level 1

Weapons on a ship

14-05-2021 07:00

The US Navy finds a ship in the Arabian Sea. The ship is full of guns.

Thousands of guns are inside green plastic bags. Officials do not know where the ship is coming from. They do not know where it is going. The US Navy finds similar guns on different ships in the past. These guns are for rebels in Yemen. Officials say that the ship is coming from Iran. It is a problem. Iran must not sell guns to Yemen.

A war starts in Yemen in 2014. The situation is very bad. Millions of people are starving. The US and other countries want to help. It seems that the war will last for a long time.

Difficult words: navy (soldiers who work at sea), rebel (a person who fights against the government), starve (to have no or very little food).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
