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.

      Why? This is the kind of “reporting” we always see after the US bombs people.

      It says the “bad people” are “allegedly” doing something we think might be scary. It aims to plant seeds in our minds that the houthi’s are the new terrorist group of the year and our tax dollars need to go towards bombing them out of existence. Personally, I’m tired of the working class funding a war machine, that only serves imperialist interests, while we’re left trying to live off of scraps.
