US-Intercepted Iranian Arms Transport Ship Has Sealed Secret Holds

UPDATE: To make the troll "LOL" happy, I'll point to another outlet who's reporting the same news. I don't know exactly how many outlets the troll requires to report on any given thing before he'll believe that it's not a complete fabrication, a figment of someone's imagination. Poor troll... only believing stuff if a bunch of Big Media outlets report on the same thing. Guess an exclusive report by, say, CNN or NBC wouldn't meet his requirements 'cause it's just one outlet...

Story here. Continuing to look at the story... this is the third post now. Wish I had approved the comment of the Leftist troll calling himself "LOL" ("laughing out loud") who summarily dismissed that there was any Iranian arms ship about to be intercepted by the US. Well, "LOL", who's LOL-ing now?

The Iranian ship boarded by a US Navy Coast Guard team on the Red Sea last week before it could smuggle arms to Hamas is now disclosed by DEBKAfile's military sources to have tried to trick the search team by enclosing its rocket cargo in secret compartments behind layers of steel. Furthermore, our sources reveal, the US has not yet found a harbor in the region for carrying out a thorough search.

The Cypriot-flagged Iranian freighter Nochegorsk was intercepted last week by the new US Combined Task Force 151 in the Bab al-Mandeb Straits. Its presence in the Red Sea was first revealed by DEBKAfile on Jan. 20. For this article click HERE.

The Americans decided not to give the Israeli Navy a chance to seize the vessel and tow it to Eilat for fear of a Tehran ultimatum to Jerusalem, followed by Iranian attacks on Israeli naval craft patrolling the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea.

Damn...

Iran maintains two warships in those waters to guard its shipping against Somali pirates as well as a military presence in the Eritrean port of Assab. The arms smuggling ship was first reported escorted out of the Suez Canal Saturday night, Jan. 23, after which Washington imposed a blackout on the incident. It is now moored at an Egyptian Red Sea port at the entrance to the Gulf of Suez.

The US, Egypt and Israel want to see what's in the secret sealed holds, but need an appropriate port to conduct such a thorough search. So now we wait and see what happens with the Iranian arms ship with the sinister, secret sealed cargo hold. Will it be cracked open to reveal a massive trove of deadly weapons originally destined for Hamas? After all, where do you think Hamas gets all those weapons, thousands of rockets and mortars?

If it were up to me, I'd take a gosh-darned can-opener to the damned thing, to hell with what Iran might or might not do. If I were the US President, I'd remind myself that all I have to do is say the word and Iran is black toast. Obama? A doublethinking grey-area Leftist. Fuggeddabout him. He won't allow the ship to be properly searched.
