US Warship Seizes Supposed Iranian Missile Components Heading to Yemen.
06 December 2019
A U.S. Navy Warship has discovered and seized a multitude of what is believed to be Iranian missile parts; US officials report that they believe the missile components were en route for Houthi fighters in Yemen; Official: ‘’A more thorough investigation is underway’’.
On Wednesday, US officials announced that on November 25, a US warship seized a host of advanced missile parts from a boat they stopped in the Arabian Sea. Though it is still early in the investigation, evidence quickly pointed to the fact that these missile parts were of Iranian origin and making their way to Houthi fighters in Yemen.
This is a serious find, as Israel, the United States, and other countries in the region have been expecting Iranian aggression to grow, anticipating an imminent attack on the Jewish state. A US official stated that “a more thorough investigation is underway.”
Furthermore, a unique concern in this circumstance, according to a US official, is the advanced nature of these missile parts.
Seizure of Iranian weaponry heading to Yemen is something that has happened in the past, but to find something like this is reported to be next-level.
The US has sent approximately 14,000 troops to the region since May with the hopes of keeping Iran in check, but the Pentagon reportedly is still expecting severe action from Iran at any point.
Is the USA itching for a chance to hit Iran?? Most likely! If they are going to NOW is the best time considering the situation of uproar in the country....

Israel is now facing mid-range ballistic missiles on the ground in Iraq.
NEWS BRIEF: "Iran waging shadow war,' seeding Iraq with short-range missiles that could strike Jerusalem, US troops", World Israel News, December 5, 2019
As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to warn Tehran that the Jewish State has a "long arm" to strike wherever the Islamic Republic's forces are mobilized, the latest report on just how aggressive the Iranians have become was published Wednesday.
Iran has used the continuing chaos in Iraq to build up a hidden arsenal of short-range ballistic missiles in Iraq, part of a widening effort to try to intimidate the Middle East and assert its power, according to American intelligence and military officials.
The Iranian build-up comes as the United States has rebuilt its military presence in the Middle East to counter emerging threats to American interests, including attacks on oil tankers and facilities that intelligence officials have blamed on Iran.
The military and intelligence officials at the centre of the newspaper's report say that 'Tehran is engaged in a shadow war, striking at countries in the Middle East but thinly disguising the origin of those attacks to reduce the chance of provoking a response or escalating the fight."
Iran is developing nuclear-capable missiles, say Germany, France, UK.
December 6, 2019
The three European nations sent a letter to the UN Security Council on Wednesday accusing Iran of developing nuclear capable missiles in violation of a Council resolution. The letter cites:
- A new Shahab-3 medium-range ballistic missiles variant adapted to capability for delivering a 500-kg payload 300km.
- A Borkan-3 – “a new liquid-propelled medium-range ballistic missile, travelling approximately 1,300 kilometres,” which was announced by Iranian-backed Houthi forces in Yemen on August 2, 2019, and is an advancement of Iran’s Qiam-1 missile.
- The August29, 2019, attempted launch of a Safir satellite launch vehicle, which was unsuccessful. UN experts have said such launch vehicles are similar in materials and technology to ballistic missiles.

Iran reinforces Bushehr, Abu Musa, as Netanyahu & Pompeo talk in Lisbon.
December 06 2019
Iran has poured reinforcements armed with missiles and air defence weapons into Bushehr on its central Gulf shore and the offshore island of Abu Musa, reliable military sources report.
In Lisbon, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday, December 4, [pictured above] discussed the threats coming from Iran, as US officials reported increasing intelligence of potential Iranian aggression.
Addressing reporters, Pompeo hailed US-Israeli bipartisan relationship against Iran’s “destabilising influence in the region,” while Netanyahu noted: “Iran is increasing its aggression as we speak. We are actively engaged in encountering that aggression,” he said.
As they spoke, unidentified aircraft struck a large Iranian weapons depot and base holding forces of the Revolutionary Guards’ Al Qods, Iraqi militias and Hizballah, near the Syrian-Iraqi border town of Abu Kamal.
The nearby border crossing serves Tehran as a land corridor for transporting advanced weapons to Hizballah and other allies. Foreign sources report that this base has been repeatedly attacked by Israel in the past.
Our military sources note it just so happens that whenever the Israeli prime minister and US Secretary of State get together, an Iranian military target is usually is attacked either before, during or after their meeting.
Another of Iran’s arms routes to its proxies ran into trouble on Wednesday, when a US Navy destroyer for the first time intercepted a stateless ship in the Gulf of Oman found to be carrying a “significant amount of advanced missile components,” [see article above] evidently being smuggled from Iran to the Yemeni Houthi insurgents.
Tehran halted those consignments some months ago, our sources reported; this incident indicates they have been resumed.
At the same time, reliable military sources disclose Iran is heavily ramping up its military strength at Bushehr on its Gulf coast, including a large supply of ballistic missiles – in apparent expectation of an American attack or counterattack.
Last week, the USS Abraham Lincoln strike group entered the Gulf from the Arabian Sea and docked at Bahrain opposite central Iran.
Also reinforced in the last few days is the strategic Iranian island of Abu Musa, the site of a large IRGC military command post. This island is situated opposite the United Arab Emirates and the Strait of Hormuz.
The reinforcements had come with a large array of missiles, including sea-to-sea, surface and air defence batteries.
