British intercept Iranian arms shipment into Iraq:
Britain yesterday described as "unacceptable" the smuggling of weapons from Iran into Iraq after revealing that a consignment was intercepted at the border between the two countries.I'm sure that diplomacy will deal effectively with this issue. After all, it's been so successful in convincing the Iranians not to resume their nuclear program. Yep.While complaints have been made in the past, it is relatively rare to have concrete evidence of such smuggling.
The British embassy in Tehran raised the issue at a meeting with the Iranian foreign ministry. Officials relayed the government's concern and pressed Iran to acknowledge that there was a problem that should be dealt with.
