Iran weapons shipment to Hezballah was huge

BBC:

Israeli officials say they have seized a ship carrying a large consignment of Iranian weapons, including Katyusha missiles, to the Lebanese group Hezbollah.

The ship, the Francop, which was flying under an Antiguan flag, was seized near Cyprus and taken to the Israeli port of Ashdod.

If the Israeli account is true, this is a propaganda coup for the Jewish state.

First, the scale of the find - hundreds of tonnes, according to the officials - makes it unprecedented.

The Israelis say the cargo of the Francop was 10 times as big as that of the Karin-A, the ship they captured in 2002 allegedly bringing Iranian weapons to the Palestinians.

It could, they say, have kept Hezbollah supplied for a month of fighting.

This is a big cache. I suspect that it was intended to supply Hezballah so they could respond to an attack on Iran by Israel. The timing suggest they are preparing for what they beleive to be an imminent strike. That would also be more evidence that they do not intend to reach any agreement on limiting their nuclear program.
