IRAN SHIPS ARMS TO HEZBOLLAH

IRAN ANNOUNCES NEW WEAPONS AND CYBER ARMY, SHIPS ARMS TO HEZBOLLAH

While the US was focusing on the missile test, Tehran was watching a warship launch in Bandar Abbas on the Persian Gulf.

"...Iran was also accused last week of sending an arms shipment to Beirut. A Fars Air Qeshm 747 left Tehran on Thursday and landed in Beirut. The same aircraft had previously been flagged for its suspicious activity, including an October flight to Beirut."

"...Taken together, the new destroyer, the medium-range ballistic missile test, the suspicious flight to Beirut and the Basij cyber activism represent Iran’s attempt to show that sanctions are not reducing its ability to innovate and threaten the region. In each case the message from Tehran is that its weapons systems are at the cutting edge of technology and can threaten the US and its allies. It is likely not a coincidence that Hezbollah also released a new video on Friday with images of Israeli targets.

Hezbollah boasted that if there was any attack “you will regret it.” According to The National, the video showed images of Israeli bases in Tel Aviv and Dimona."
