US seizes thousands of Iranian weapons, including grenade launchers, in Arabian Sea
Published April 04, 2016 FoxNews.com
The crew of a U.S. Navy ship stopped a massive Iranian arms shipment dead in its tracks, seizing thousands of weapons, AK-47 rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers that likely were headed to Yemen, the Pentagon announced Monday.
The seizure, which unfolded in the Arabian Sea on March 28, was the third of its kind in recent weeks, military officials say. Iran has been supporting Houthi rebels in Yemen in their proxy war against a Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States. Like Iran, the Houthis are a Shia-led group.
The arms shipment appears to mark the latest provocative action from the Islamic republic. On Friday, President Obama said Iran was obeying the "letter" of its landmark nuclear agreement with the West, but not the "spirit" of it.
The Navy said the shipment included 1,500 AK-47s, 200 rocket-propelled grenade launchers and 21 .50-caliber machine guns.
A defense official reached by Fox News would not reveal the nationality of the dhow's crew.
Last month, Iran announced that it tested missiles marked with the phrase "Israel must be wiped out," in violation of a U.N. Security Council resolution tied to the recent nuclear deal. The resolution forbids Iran from working on its ballistic missile program for eight years and bans sales of its conventional weapons.
In January, Iran captured 10 U.S. Navy sailors in the Persian Gulf, on the same day President Obama delivered his State of the Union address. Iran released the sailors one day later.
Last year, naval forces from Iran's Revolutionary Guard seized a Marshall Islands-flagged cargo ship and held it for weeks to settle a business dispute. Iranian vessels later surrounded a U.S.-flagged vessel but did not detain it.
Soon afterwards, U.S. warships escorted all U.S. and British flagged cargo ships and tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz, a key Mideast oil passage.
In late December, Iran's military fired rockets near the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, a move the U.S. called "unnecessarily provocative and unsafe."

Iranians, the new best friends that the traitor obama just allowed , helped and funded (150 billion) to nuke up and continue to threaten Israel, America , Europe and the rest of the world!
People, wake up to the solid gold fact that obama is a damn traitor, and its not just a difference of political philosophy with that bastard.
He truly does engage in open treason daily, sanctioned and protected by his masters - the globalists.
