2 Navy SEALs went missing overboard during an operation in the Red Sea last Thursday.
They were helping seize Iranian warheads for missiles being sent to the Houthis, per CENTCOM.
"We are conducting an exhaustive search for our missing teammates," CENTCOM's commander said.

The two Navy SEALs who went missing off the coast of Somalia last week were helping seize Iranian weapons bound for the Houthis, the US said in a statement on Tuesday.
