Iran Sends 'Explosives Lab' Components To Venezuela

...in containers marked "tractor parts".

Tractor parts. Sure. If we're talking about tractors that make stuff go "boom".

Good on Turkey for seizing the cargo.

You know what I think of this?

Clearly, it indicates that Venezuela is becoming a terrorist state, and that it's being facilitated in doing so by the terror-facilitating state of Iran.

Hatred of America is one thing they have in common. Why not terrorism? Perhaps there are Islamist terrorists inside Venezuela, and they're plotting attacks against America or American interests somewhere, somehow, and explosives are intended to be employed...

Of course, it's entirely possible that the mislabelling of the cargo was an honest error on the part of the Iranians, and that the intention was to label the cargo "Stuff to be used for the set-up of an explosives lab". Oh, yes, I'm being sarcastic.
