United States navy vessels seized 385 kilograms (849 pounds) of heroin in the Arabian Sea worth some $4 million, in a major bust by the international maritime operation in the region, officials said Thursday.

The USS Tempest and USS Typhoon seized the drugs hidden aboard a stateless fishing vessel plying Mideast waters, the international task force said in a statement. The seizure took place on Monday.

So now we're the world drug police? Don't our military have more important things to do? Iran would merely need to remarket as prescription drugs and take a capitalist approach to the world's drug problem like other countries if it wasn't for all the sanctions. Think about it.
