Iran's still arming jihadists
A ship carrying illicit arms believed to be from Iran was intercepted last week by a member of a U.S.-backed naval coalition and was not registered with any country, the U.S. Navy said Wednesday.Hot Air notes:
The American description of the ship’s seizure in the northern Arabian Sea conflicted in some instances with an earlier account provided by a separate Saudi-led coalition battling Yemen’s Shiite rebels, which claimed it had foiled the smuggling attempt. The Saudi coalition alleged that Iran was using the vessel to ship arms to the rebels…
An American guided missile destroyer, the USS Forrest Sherman, arrived to assist once the weapons were found aboard the dhow, a type of vessel commonly used in the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean.
This ship, however, was carrying dozens of anti-tank missiles, launchers and other high tech weapons of war. That’s several orders of magnitude above and beyond your garden variety rifles and handguns. The destination of the ship was a pretty obvious giveaway as well. If you’re sending gear like this to Somalia there’s really only two groups who could be the likely recipients. One are the Houthis, and it’s unlikely in the extreme that Iran would be helping them in such a fashion. That means the missiles were most likely destined for Al-Shabaab.And this is whom all the dhimmis are doing business with. You can be sure Saudi Arabia's just as guilty, but probably knows how to keep mum about it for now. The deal the US administration made with Iran will only enable them to keep on with these criminal activities.
