US Boards Iranian Ship, Finds Weapons

Story here.

Indeed, as Debka earlier reported, there was an Iranian ship with weapons, supposedly en route to Syria, but it was suspected that they were bound for Hamas in Gaza.

After a few hours, therefore, the US force released the Iranian vessel and two warships escorted it out of Red Sea waters. The ship and its escort are due to enter the Suez Canal heading north Saturday night, Jan. 23, after being prevented from unloading its arms freight on the coast of Sinai or Gaza.

Poor Hamas. Where are they going to get their weapons now? The tunnels are destroyed and the waters are patrolled for suspected arms shipments. The squeeze is on.
