US forces seized a Chinese cargo headed to Iran as part of an operation to disrupt the rearming of Iranian regime forces, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

The ship was boarded on the Indian Ocean a month ago, and several pieces of military equipment were seized, officials revealed to the US newspaper.
 
The previously undisclosed operation occured near the coast of Sri Lanka, with US operatives tracking the weapons shipment and intercepting it before letting the vessel continue on its way.

This marks the first time in years that the US military intercepted a Chinese-origin vessel en route to Iran.
