pick your own source, they all say the same thing.


I'll pick jpost simply because they use actual values.

the 140-meter-long Francop loaded with 320 tons of Katyushas, rockets, mortar shells and other weapons from Iran. The weapons were due to be delivered to Hizbullah by way of Syria.
The "sole objective" of these Iranian weapons, Netanyahu said, "was to attack and kill as many civilians - women, children and the elderly - as possible. This is a war crime."

how about reuters?

Israel's U.N. ambassador complained to the United Nations on Thursday about what she said was an Iranian attempt to skirt a U.N. arms embargo and supply weapons to the Lebanese guerrilla group Hezbollah. Israeli officials said on Wednesday that naval commandos had seized a ship carrying hundreds of tons of Iranian-supplied arms, including rockets, to the Shi'ite Muslim group.
"These grave violations constitute a threat to peace and security, as well as non-compliance with international legal obligations," Israel's U.N. ambassador, Gabriela Shalev, said in a letter to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
"The weapons -- concealed, wrapped and declared as civilian cargo in the ship's manifest -- were hidden among hundreds of other containers aboard the ship that originated from the Islamic Republic of Iran," Shalev wrote.

Iran backs terrorism at every angle. There is not point to argue this fact at this point. This is majorly important, not only because these weapons are meant to attack israel, but to show that Iran is looking for a war. They simply can not have a nuclear bomb and any chance.

Locked, repost.
