Israel to File UN Complaint on Iran Arms Smuggling
(Ha'aretz) Anshel Pfeffer and Barak Ravid - The Israel Foreign Ministry plans to file a complaint to the UN Security Council's sanctions committee over Iran's efforts to smuggle arms to Gaza. It will argue that Iran's involvement in the Victoria weapons ship was a gross violation of Security Council Resolution 1747, which forbids Iran to export arms. Over the last half year, at least five Iranian arms shipments have been seized: in Nigeria, Afghanistan, Italy, the Mediterranean Sea and Southeast Asia.
