Iran Is Moving to Rearm Its Militia Allies
(Wall Street Journal) Benoit Faucon - A pattern of high-value weapons seizures shows Tehran is making new efforts to arm its militia allies across the Middle East. Forces allied with Yemen's internationally recognized government last week intercepted a major shipment of missiles, drone parts and other military gear sent to Houthi rebels. Syria's new government says it has seized a number of weapons cargoes, including Grad rockets for use in multiple-launch systems mounted on trucks, along its borders with Iraq and Lebanon. The Lebanese army has seized shipments brought in across its border with Syria that include Russian antitank missiles favored by Hizbullah.
