U.S. Sends Seized Iranian Ammunition to Ukraine
(Wall Street Journal) Michael R. Gordon - The U.S. sent Ukraine 1.1 million rounds of seized AK-47 ammunition on Monday that Iran had sought to ship to fighters it supports in Yemen, the U.S. Central Command said on Wednesday. The munitions sent by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in violation of a UN Security Council resolution were intercepted on Dec. 9 by U.S.-led naval forces. The U.S. obtained legal ownership of the ammunition in July after the Justice Department filed a civil forfeiture claim against the Iranian Guard forces.
