While the latest focus of news has been the Ukraine, we ought not forget about Iran. Today comes news that the Israeli navy boarded a ship in the Red Sea that was trying to deliver Iranian missiles to Hamas in Gaza. The missiles are medium range and are capable of hitting targets up to 150 miles from the point of launch. Their delivery to Hamas would have put a much bigger swath of Israeli territory under the gun of the terrorists. According to Israeli sources, the rockets were smuggled out of Iran and into Iraq for shipment in order to try to avoid their detection by the Israelis. They were hidden inside containers marked as building materials. Israel has released photos of the weapons. Of course, Hamas has denounced the action.
It is good to see that at least one government can actually take action against the bad guys. Israel understands that words alone will not protect it. Maybe they could explain that to president Obama. Of course, he would not listen anyway, but one can always hope.
