Iran caught with hand in the weapons jar.
This is a story that the good folks over at the PatriotRoom are covering.
Tthe gist of the story is as such; Iran's ship was stopped (by US/Egyptians) and it turns out that they are secretly smuggling about 60 tons of weaponry to Hamas. We are talking long ranged missiles, anti-tank weaponry, mines, machine guns, the whole lot. I bet they would find some explosive rigged camels if they search the ship thoroughly enough.
Iran can send food, medicine, aid and clothing to the Palestinians, instead they choose to send war materiel. Where is the international pressure? Where? Where are the protesters who go and march in the streets bashing Israel at any opportunity? Why does Gaza need even 1 ton of weapons, let alone 60? Humanity is flipped on its head and it is frustrating.
Lastly, Obama has to act on this. Currently the ship is in US/Egyptian control, but in order for them to act in any meaningful way there must be an order from the top. I await extremely strict and damaging rules/regulations enforced upon Iran. The story is particularly interesting, because nobody wants an armed incidents - especially the Egyptians. The country needs to be sealed, like you would seal a nasty rotting stinkin' sewer hole. We are fighting a proxy war in the middle-east against Iran and Syria, this much is evident. America must punish it's enemies or things will escalate even further. I am not holding my breath, Obama will screw this one up and I know it. I firmly expect a Carteresque response to this and then have the story slip under the radar.
