    Ship was just seized today. I'm sure all parties will deny wrongdoings. People will believe want they want to regardless of proof.

    All I'm saying is it would be smart to withhold judgment until you see the reasoning/evidence behind their accusations. I'm not pro any side, just pro-truth.

    Withhold*

    To add... it appears that they had been tracking this cargo for some time.

    Why let the BullSh! go on? I mean why would it be ok if they arm a terrorist group in country or out of country? You say there's a difference. Why?

    I understand you want the facts. But I don't understand why it would be different if it came from a terrorist group when Iran openly supports many terrorist groups.

    Wonder if that huge stache of WMDs has decayed to unrecognizable under that hot Syrian sand bordering Iraq yet?

    Not taking the bait but wondering how it's relevant.

    I see the logic because I use the same reasoning when I'm talking to a Dallas Cowboy fan and they bring up the rings...they bring up the win last year and I blurt out 19-10!!!!!.

    To help Palestinians resist Israel's illegal naval blockade of Gaza?

    My guess is that they came from Iran on the "supply ship" that accompanied the Iranian warship Egypt allowed to transit Suez, which was a big deal in the news recently. Those ships just came back through the Suez canal into the Red Sea on their way back to Iran. Quite a coincidence, is it not?

    So the answer is to blow up the blockade? That's great logic! I would suggest not starting a war with Israel this month.

    Yes, that would be one way of resisting an illegal naval blockade that is engaging in collective punishment. You asked a question and I provided you with a potential reason why they would want anti-ship missiles. Don't get so emotional.
