Send ’em to Israel!
The illegal weapons were seized by the crew of the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser Normandy, a press release detailed.
Weapons and sensitive tech captured during the ship boarding included 150 Dehlavieh anti-tank guided missiles, three Iranian surface-to-air missiles, Iranian thermal scopes, and Iranian parts for unmanned systems, among other advanced parts and munitions, the release said.
The Dehlavieh is an Iranian anti-tank guided missile system similar to the Russian Kornet, which can be found littered across the Syrian and Libyan battlefields.
The weapons systems are in U.S. custody, the release said. U.S. Central Command said the small boat was boarded in accordance with international law while the Normandy was conducting maritime security operations.
U.S. Navy Intercepts MASSIVE Cache of Iranian Made Weapons In Arabian Sea
By Breaking 911, February 13, 2020
On Feb. 9, 2020, USS Normandy (CG 60), while conducting maritime security operations in the U.S. Central Command area of operations, boarded a dhow in accordance with international law and discovered a large cache of weapons.
The weapons seized include 150 ‘Dehlavieh’ anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM), which are Iranian-manufactured copies of Russian Kornet ATGMs. 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, as well as other munitions and advanced weapons parts.
Many of these weapons systems are identical to the advanced weapons and weapon components seized by guided-missile destroyer USS Forrest Sherman (DDG 98) in the Arabian Sea on Nov. 25, 2019. Those weapons were determined to be of Iranian origin and assessed to be destined for the Houthis in Yemen, which would be in violation of a UN Security Council Resolution that prohibits the direct or indirect supply, sale, or transfer of weapons to the Houthis.
The seized weapons are in U.S. custody awaiting final disposition. The assessment of the materiel will be an interagency and international effort. International partner nations and organizations have also been invited to inspect the cache.

Israel would put then to good use!
As long as the weapons aren’t going to be used against Israel and are going to be used against other f’ing muslums what do I care? Soddy Barbarians vs. Iranians? Who cares who wins? Because regardless of who wins no one in the civilised kufar world does. It’s like picking the SA over the SS.
Our Navy should leave the weapons where they found them 1200 foot deep in saltwater
Why not hand them off to one of the fewer and fewer free nations of the world? Or maybe Nigerian Christians? They could certainly use some firepower against the f’ing muslums trying to exterminate them.
South Sudan would be a good choice. Split ’em between Nigerian Christians and South Sudan. South Sudan is FILLED with kufars.
Good plan. Too bad you’re not secretary of state.
That would be a grave mistake. We (royal plural) must know our weaknesses. I ain’t that much of a diplomat.
I kinda liked Curtis LeMay’s famous proposed method of diplomacy. Arc Light strikes made the North Vietnamese stand up and take notice more than any mealy mouthed overtures from Kissinger.
I never quite understood him choosing to run, as a VP candidate, with Brother George Wallace.
I never liked Kissinger’s comments during the Yom Kippur War, but realpolitik has always been the last refuge of the immoral and degenerate.
Hope they scuttled the ship or it will back same time next week with similar cargo. Give the confiscated rockets to Israel, I’m sure they could use them more than us. P.S. Nice work guys!
Fire each one at a mosque.. ANY mosque ..!
That is one way to make good use of them. Another would be to fuse the arsenal and put it on auto pilot bound for the nearest Iranian port.
SUCK IT, IRAN!!
????????????????????????????????????????
Could be part of that Fast and Furious gunrunning op by those two criminals Holder and B.O.
Hey, Fast and Furious wasn’t just for spic drug lords.
When they pull then apart they will find who made this part and that part and who broke sanctions.
Those weapons were no doubt bound for Yemen who have been at war with Saudi Arabia for the past few years and along with the Iranians are of the Shia persuasion of islam. The Iranians don’t have many friends in that neighbourhood unless they were destined for Syria which is a bit unlikely as it’s far to the north and their Russian allies are supplying the hardware for that region.
Weapons for muzrats to kill muzrats?
Let em get on with it!
It’s obvious the corrupt, rotten, atheist West has picked sides in the battle of the Sunni fascist muslum bastages vs. the Shitite fascist muslum bastages. Pakistain is a Sunni nuclear capable muslum state that ALSO sponsors terrorism (chiefly against India) but no one in the rotten, corrupt, degenerate atheist West cares about that…
Politicians pick their sides strategically and we know that Trump has a hatred for the Iran regime and a working relationship with the Saudis. I personally detest the Saudis the most but I don’t have to play the diplomat and pick a side.
For me and no doubt you too the whole of the islamic world is the enemy.
????looks like he’s bowing to the muzrat! Well I suppose that’s politics????
There’s no escaping the fact he’s bowing to the Soddy Barbarian bastage. At least no PM of the UK has ever done that.
I wouldn’t bet on that M.
The United States of Ameristan Air Force is now Sharia compliant; warplanes can now fly into buildings. Allahu Akbar (Satan is Great). https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/13/us/air-force-dress-code-sikhs-muslims-trnd/index.html
Yes our “ally” Soddy Barbaria, the country which is one of the top 5 sponsors of islamic terrorism and is the all-too-typical, totalitarian, fascist, religious and gender apartheid, muslum state. But I guess only if they’re putting petrodollars in your offshore bank accounts…
AMERICANS WE HAVE TO TAKE BACK OUR AMERICA FROM THE EVIL CRIMINAL ACTS OF DEMOCRATS………………………..TO SOLVE AMERICAS PROBLEMS MAKE THIS CHOICE WE THE PEOPLE’ HAVE THE POWER OF OUR VOICES AND OUR VOTES, TO VOTE OUT THE ENTIRE LYING,CORRUPT, TREASONOUS DEMOCRAT PARTY COME NOV 2020, VOTE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND TO END ALL CORRUPTIONS IN WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT
rTime for our DoJ to prosecute all American traitors aiding and assisting the enemy. THAT should clean out quite a dew MarxiCrats and a few RINOs.
Should we have notified congress before seizing these weapons LOL
No, pursuant to nance and that guy that no one on Jeopardy knew …. The House was supposed to be notified, PRIOR to the seizure.
Can ducktape them together and ‘return to sender’…. with the pointy end facing them?
Obama would have approved the shipment.
Arm them and put them on auto pilot back to Iran!
The U.S. military should think carefully about what country to give the weapons to, if they would rather give them away. I would not be against giving them to Israel, that is if Israel wants them to use. It would be rather fitting if Israel used them to destroy anything used by the Iranian military. It would be a step down in sophisticated hardware though. It should not be given to an Arab country, not even Turkey or Jordan. It would be better to destroy them all!
