Weasel Zippers:

Report: Iranian Warships Crossed Suez Canal Packed With Advanced Weapons for Hezbollah…

Still at a loss as to why Israel did nothing to stop this.

GAZA, Feb 22 (KUNA) — The two Iranian naval ships which crossed the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean Tuesday morning are carrying “advanced Hezbollah weapons,” Maariv Israeli paper reported on Wednesday, citing sources.

The sources told the paper, “Estimates indicate the two ships are carrying missiles of different range, rifles, ammunition, and night-vision gear. . . The voyage of the two ships is an Iranian attempt to go around the arms embargo on Hezbollah.”

The paper also said that it is believed the voyage is an attempt on the part of the Iranians to “test the waters” with and gauge the responses of the Egyptian Supreme Military Council and its stance towards Tehran.

The Kuwaiti News could just be inaccurate about the cargo.
