IDF captures Iranian ship carrying advanced rockets for Gaza
Yeah, I remember somebody said something about Iran turning over a new leaf and turning their faces towards peace, right?
By the way, the worst part of this whole thing is that for some reason, the Israeli Foreign Ministry has decided that it's on strike. That means that there was no formal complaint to the UN regarding the weapons ship, and instead of being out full force, the Hasbara Department was/is silent.
Complete and total stupidity....

Israel seized an Iranian ship carrying advanced weapons destined for Gaza on Tuesday night and towed it to the Eilat port, the IDF said Wednesday. Elite troops from the Israel Navy's Shayetet 13 unit boarded the ship in open waters on the maritime border of Sudan and Eritrea, some 1,500 km south of Israel.
The Klos C Iranian vessel was sailing under a Panamanian flag, making its way to Sudan from Iran carrying a cargo of advanced rockets capable of reaching distances of up to 200 km.
IDF Spokesperson's Unit simulation of events:
The Iranian cargo ship carrying arms for Gaza left port ten days ago and was on track to dock in Sudan on Thursday. The 17 crew members on board – representing a variety of nationalities – are being investigated for their involvement in the attempted smuggling operation. Their questioning is expected to continue in Israel.
The ship was supposed to reach port in Sudan on Thursday, some 10 days after it left Iran. An initial inventory by Israel revealed a large supply of rockets, including the Iranian-made 302m, which hit Haifa during the 2006 Second Lebanon War.
