The United States and United Kingdom were in the same boat over the past few days, seizing ships in Middle Eastern waters.

The two countries said both their navies seized boats smuggling contraband in the Gulf of Oman. The U.S. Navy found 40 tons of fertilizer, often used to make explosives, aboard the boat it seized, while the British Royal Navy discovered 2,295 pounds of illegal drugs on the smuggler’s boat it found, according to the Associated Press.
