Iranians are going thru hardship because of the sanctions, but the Ayatollahs don't give a shit. Shows Iran doesn't have a rational government.


US military says it found 150 anti-tank missiles and three surface-to-air missiles in boat stopped by one of its warships.

A US navy warship seized weapons it says are of Iranian "design and manufacture", including more than 150 anti-tank guided missiles and three surface-to-air missiles.
The US military said in a statement on Thursday that its guided-missile cruiser, the USS Normandy, boarded a dhow, a traditional sailing vessel, in the Arabian Sea on Sunday.
"The weapons seized include 150 'Dehlavieh' anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM), which are Iranian-manufactured copies of Russian Kornet ATGMs," the statement said.

"Other weapons components seized aboard the dhow were of Iranian design and manufacture and included three Iranian surface-to-air missiles, Iranian thermal imaging weapon scopes, and Iranian components for unmanned aerial and surface vessels" it added.
The military did not specify what type of surface-to-air missiles were seized.
In recent years, US warships have intercepted and seized several shipments of Iranian arms that Washington says were likely bound for Iran-backed Houthi fighters in Yemen.

In December, a US warship seized advanced missile parts believed to be linked to Iran from a boat it stopped in the northern Arabian Sea.
Under a United Nations resolution, Iran is prohibited from supplying, selling or transferring weapons outside the country unless approved by the Security Council.
A separate UN resolution on Yemen bans any country from supplying weapons to Houthi leaders.

Why does this really matter? The US sends all kinds of arms to all kinds of people. Its a tiny amount of arms and Iran proabably uses its subs to get arms to the Houthis.

It doesn't matter to you as you support Jihadists and terrorist supporting countries like Iran. They support Islamic terrorists around the world and 150 missiles ares till 150 missiles..They should spend their money to help their citizens and not on weapons.

The US sent more to Islamic jihadists in Syria then Iran did and is about to surrender Afghanistan to them. Saudis also support them. Iran sending aid to fight Saudi backed govt in Yemen I am all for. Fuck the Saudis

Nonsense, 911 was done by Saudi sponsored Al Queda. Which is Sunni. They are the same people trashing Syria, which is why Iran is there fighting them. Iran has not sponsored any attacks ouside the middle east against Western targets of late. Those are mostly Sunni. IS is Salafist Sunni, which is also why Iran has been attacking them.

Sure the Iranians are the Saints of the middle east, they just want to push their own brand of terrorism. That's why they have sanctions up their ass and you support their brand.

I never said they are saints. I am just quite happy to watch the two major Sunni and Shiite states go at it. Why should the USA stop that shit?

Other than the world economy and their own profit? Same reason why Russia is so involved in Syria.
