A U.S. military official said Thursday Iranian cargo ships which may be carrying weapons for Houthi rebels in war-torn Yemen are moving away from that country.

The official, speaking anonymously, calls this a "promising sign."

He said, however, that the Pentagon will continue to watch the ships carefully.

The White House has said it has seen evidence that Iran supplied arms to the Shi'ite Houthis in Yemen. The Pentagon has deployed a number of U.S. warships to Yemeni waters to ensure that key Gulf shipping channels stay open.

Military officials deny the U.S. fleet is there to intercept Iranian ships.

1. Gee, does this mean Obama won another bloodless victory?

Shouldn't we have bombed Iran or sunk a few ships just to send a message?
