"uss theodore roosevelt" and the carrier, "uss normandy." there is a practical dimension to this. the u.s. has eyes on about nine ships thought to be carrying weapons. it is unclear the destination. if they will move to the yemeni coast. bear in mind john united nations security council resolution accuseing an arms blockade. it will become a point if the iranian ships move toward yemen that the u.s. is faced if they let them carry on or block them. it may likely not come to that but it does raise the stakes. so many more issues and weaponry in the highly contested volatile gulf with the trade routes around the world. if something did go wrong, it could escalate quickly. this too, while the u.s. is trying to talk peace. nuclear negotiations with iran and trying to show the long-term decades long allies saudi arabia is behind them in the conflict in kbremsyemen. o

i want to bring in nick paton walsh. nick you had exclusive action to an aid mission in yemen? >> 75 metric tons. this was unicef the children's agency negotiating about two hours on the runway in sanaa, the captain there. it was about 13 different types of permission. they managed to get two hours because the saudi air force and those who control the houthis permitted that. that airport you're seeing there that is such a small fraction of what yemen requires right now. food and water scares don't even talk about the medicine that they don't have the medicine they need. a little bit being delivered on those pallets. this war is continuing. that the u.n. security council voted certainly is clear that houthis should not be sold arms anymore. even russia in fact, with the houthis sustaining their vetoes. there's some sense of an international purpose there isolating the houthis but what it did do is deal with that looming human humanitarian crisis on the way. merely a matter of hour that's how complicated it is. bombing could have resumed shortly after this. we simply don't know b
