(Wall Street Journal) Benoit Faucon - Thousands of rocket launchers, machine guns, sniper rifles and other weapons seized in the Arabian Sea by the U.S. Navy in recent months originated from the Iranian port of Jask on the Sea of Oman, according to a confidential UN report that provides detailed evidence that Tehran is exporting arms to Yemen and elsewhere.
