Hello and welcome to the details of US Navy says two missing SEALs died in raid on Iran ship and now with the details
Nevin Al Sukari - Sana'a - WASHINGTON, Jan 22 — Two US Navy SEALs who went missing in the Gulf of Aden earlier this month during a raid on an Iranian ship have not been located following an exhaustive search and their status has been changed to deceased, military officials said yesterday.
The SEALs were reported missing after boarding the vessel in a Jan. 11 operation near the coast of Somali, the US Central Command said on X.
“We mourn the loss of our two Naval Special Warfare warriors, and we will forever honour their sacrifice and example. Our prayers are with the SEALs’ families, friends, the US Navy, and the entire Special Operations community during this time,” CentCom Commander General Michael Erik Kurilla said in a statement.
A joint operation carried out by the United States, Spain and Japan searched more than 21,000 square miles of ocean for the missing SEALs, CentCom said in the statement.

That mission had now become a recovery operation, CentCom said.
The US has carried out a string of strikes against Houthi targets in response to Houthi attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea that have disrupted global trade and raised fears of supply bottlenecks.
US Central Command forces on Saturday struck a Houthi anti-ship missile that was aimed into the Gulf of Aden and prepared to launch, the US military said.

The Houthis, who control the most populous parts of Yemen, have claimed their attacks on commercial ships are aimed at supporting the Palestinians in Israel's war in Gaza.
The Houthi movement has vowed to keep up attacks despite the strikes last week against radar and missile capabilities. — Reuters
