First up, though, the U.S. is deploying warships to the waters near Yemen. The Middle Eastern country has been at civil war since Houthi rebels took over Yemeni government buildings earlier this year.

首先，美国向也门海域附近部署了军舰。今年自从胡塞叛军占领也门政府大楼之后，中东国家就一直处于内战之中。

International officials say the Houthis are supported by Iran and Iran is believed to be sending a convoy of several ships to Yemen, ships that some officials suspect may be carrying weapons to the Houthis.

国际官员称胡塞叛军受到伊朗方面的支持，并且可能将会向也门地区增派数艘运载武器船只。

Nine vessels from the U.S. Navy, along with ships from Saudi Arabia, Egypt and others, are monitoring the waters near Yemen. They`re prepared to intercept the Iranian ships, if necessary.

来自美国海军和沙特，埃及和其他国家的九艘船只正在对也门附近海域进行监视。有必要的话将会对伊朗运输船只进行拦截。

An Iranian Naval official says Iran`s ships in the area are there legally to fight piracy and protect commerce.

一位伊朗海军军官说该地区伊朗运输船只是依法展开打击海上抢劫，保护商业往来行动。

All this is raising tensions between the U.S. and Iran weeks after an international agreement was announced concerning Iran`s controversial nuclear program.

所有这些举动使得美国和伊朗之间关系越来越紧张。而现在距达成备受争议的伊朗核问题国际协议仅过去了几周的时间。
