Another 'peaceful' Iranian weapons ship caught

Another 'peaceful' Iranian ship with 'peaceful' Iranian weapons has been caught. This time it was caught off Yemen and apparently was not headed for Israel (Hat Tip: Jihad Watch).

The security sources believed that the ship was in its way to unload its weapon shipment, which includes anti-armour missiles, somewhere close to Haradh where it could be hidden in a farm before Al Houthi rebels collected them.

The Haradh area is only tens of kilometers from the western frontline of Al Malahaid.

Earlier on Monday, the independent paper Al Ahali said that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards train Al Houthi rebels in training camps in neighboring Eritrea. The paper also said that the Iranian revolutionary guards transport the weapons through the Eritrean harbour of Asab, from where it is transported to Yemen's Midi Harbour.

Abdullah Al Mahdoon, one rebel leader, who surrendered himself to the army earlier this month, said in previous statements, that Al Houthi rebels receive unlimited support from the Iranian revolutionary guards, and experts from the Lebanese Hezbullah....

Israel is just the canary in the coal mine. Once they (God forbid) get us out of the way, they have bigger plans.

The picture is from another Iranian weapons ship, the Karine A, which was intercepted by Israel in January 2002.
