ased on an analysis of all available information, including crew interviews, a review of onboard records and an examination of the arms aboard the vessel, the U.S. concluded that the arms from the four interdictions in 2015 and 2016 originated in Iran and were intended to be delivered to the Houthis in Yemen in contravention of UN Security Council Resolution 2216.


Another Charlie Foxtrot brought on by Obama's foreign policy.

I wonder if these guns were purchased from the US money from the Iranian ‘deal’? I would not be surprised.

“US Navy Seizes Thousands of AK-47s in the Gulf of Aden”

Obama would have given them to cartels then blamed American gun stores.

State department needs to contact Atlanta Cutlery on how to best sell these rifles. Atlanta Cutlery has experience on selling armories and making money at it. They could help the government sell these and make a profit and let a good number of honest Americans get AK 47’s at a decent price. Everybody wins! (Except for the pantywaisted bedwetting kneepad Democrats and liberals)

since the story says they originated in Iran, may have been in the wooden crates that Obama shipped to Iran along with the $$$$$$$$.

LOL..CapeTown. Ha.....see what happens when I post before coffee?

Thanks!
Pretoria and Jburg should be abandoned and let the Boers have a redoubt to the SW.

Let the Zulus and other multi generational interlopers starve.
