Due to US threats, two Iranian warships bound for Venezuela turned to the west coast of Africa. According to Mail Online, US officials say the planes allegedly contained weapons that Iran was going to supply to Venezuela. The United States has threatened to take appropriate action against the Iranian navy if it enters the Caribbean.
US officials say that in addition to threatening Iran with action against the ships, the governments of the United States also put intense diplomatic pressure on the governments of Cuba and Venezuela to force the Iranian ships to dock at their ports. Don't let that happen, as a result of which the Iranian ships changed their direction, but it is possible that both ships could once again turn towards the Caribbean and try to reach Venezuela. " The direction the ships are traveling could possibly go to the Mediterranean or Russia.
