US confirms: American warship intercepted shipment of Iranian weapons and missile components headed for Yemen

Dec 6, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This is only right. After all, who paid for those weapons and missile components in the first place? Barack H. Obama.

“U.S. Confirms Interception of Iranian Weapons, Missiles Destined for Yemen,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, December 5, 2019:

Senior U.S. military commanders confirmed on Thursday that an American warship intercepted in November a shipment of Iranian-made weapons and missile components destined for Yemen, where Tehran has been arming terrorist rebel forces.

Reports emerged this week of a U.S. interception that occurred late last month, and were confirmed to the Washington Free Beacon by Pentagon officials familiar with the situation.

The weapons shipment represents a further escalation by Iran as it seeks to arm anti-American terrorist factions across the Middle East. The weapons and missile parts seized by U.S. military personnel are among the most sophisticated officials have seen. The smuggling operation directly violates a United Nations Security Council resolution.

U.S. military personnel are currently investigating how Tehran is smuggling arms into Yemen and other regional hotspots.

“On Nov. 25, a U.S. warship conducted a flag verification boarding in the Arabian sea in accordance with international law of what was subsequently determined to be a stateless vessel, and discovered a cache of weapons and advanced missile components,” Cmdr. Sean Robertson, a defense department spokesperson, told the Free Beacon. “An initial investigation indicates that these advanced missile components are of Iranian origin. A more thorough investigation is underway.”…

    Trump called Iran a state sponsor of terrorism. Obama gave them money. Conclusions obvious.

      When all the smog of politically-correct adulation has finally dissipated and Obama can be seen clearly for what he actually is/was, how will he be judged?

    Obama financed the Iranian military and its surrogate jihadists so the American taxpayer would been able to PAY EVEN MORE YET AGAIN to fight the Iranians and their allies!

    Such a bunch of naïve fools. Dems are KING-SIZED APPEASERS and cannot figure out how APPEASEMENT only means fighting the totalitarians at a LATER DATE, rather than crushing them when they are small.

    The Dems have had a history of failing to understand Iranian Shi’ite TAQIYYA from Jimmy Carter on. They are naïve Pollyannas. They are clueless about Islam and clueless about Shi’ism. The Shi’ites are the world champion liars and even Shi’ites would agree … and proudly.

    If TAQIYYA were an Olympic sport, the Shi’ites of Iran would WIN EVERY PRIZE.

    This is heating up, our military leadership are aware and on their jihadist tail. And today’s news of attacks on bases and possible helicopter incident, that has happened also before is now showing the United States and hopefully Europe to take note, a wakeup to an ideology stated as tolerant is deadly. This political nonsense internal disruption of endless hearings helped our enemy by calliing a informed President racist and the MB fibs accomplished this by using two faces ,the friendly appearing face sold to the public by a media, politicians, national security, that took to long to be waking up, as they are planted within the U.S. but why is Pelosi contributing chaos when our nation is under threat.? The Trump wall is part of our defense….the wall to keep out terrorists, cartels out and laws to change to deny entry and sanctuary cities for the enemy are for our protection. The raid on weapons shipments will help Israel and the United States and Europe, that is if the other European countries get informed of the Quran ….and the goals real soon.

    Lets just say the strategic goals of deception of Islam carried the water, they knew we could not believe we could be conquered along with Europe. sharia law prevented the truth from a muslim explaining for fear of death..by any other muslim,.unless someone tells you the truth, shows you the violent verses of the Quran or is ex muslim the wishful fantasy thinking had no light, hard to beleive when seeing the terror, but they always blamed it on someone else and alot of people bought it. Iran and Turkey may win the prize but also the financiers who loaded with cash, S.A. knew the plan. There are 57 muslim countries now… now what?

    A shipload of weaponry headed for Yemen from Iran has been intercepted by the U.S.? That’s very good news! Thanks to this Republican administration, and to the military men and women who carried it out!
