A number of large Iranian container ships are using the trade route to the port of Antwerp in Belgium as cover for suspicious activities, which are being closely monitored by Western intelligence agencies. However, catching them in the act is nearly impossible. There are six suspect ships tracked by the investigative team that are believed to be involved in espionage, aiding the Houthis in their attacks on commercial vessels, and transporting weapons to Syria and Russia. A team of investigative journalists, along with the Belgian newspaper De Tijd, followed the route of these six Iranian ships on their journeys from Iranian ports to Europe via the Syrian port of Latakia.
I’d love to see these idiots try to tail a single American arms shipment and watch how fast the navy tells them to gtfo as they escort more bombs to Israel in a day than what Iran does to Yemen in a year.
Not to mention naval warfare smuggling is as old as time. Britain abused the hell out of it in both WWI and WWII, and still successfully made themselves look like the helpless victim of Germany’s naval blockade after using civilian ships to carry munitions and war supplies.
