An Iranian freighter left the southern Iranian port of Bandar-Abbas yesterday, laden with hundreds of missiles, according to a report by Israeli military intelligence news source DEBKAfile.
The cargo, which reportedly includes 220 short-range rockets, and 50 long-range Fajar 5 missiles, is intended for Palestinian terrorist groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad, who have seen their supplies diminished as a result of their latest, thankfully inept, genocidal campaign against Israel, which commenced on Nov. 10.
The Fajar-5s feature an improved design, including 200 kilos of explosives, as opposed to the 175 kilo warheads currently in use by Palestinian terrorists.
According to DEBKAfile, the arms ship began its trip under the name Vali-e Asr, under the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran, but while en route was renamed the Cargo Star, and raised the flag of Tuvalu. Tuvalu, a small South Pacific island nation, has received a great deal of financial consideration from Iran in exchange for permission to register Iran’s fleet of 22 tankers to Tuvalu, as a means of skirting the current US-EU oil embargo.
The report indicates further that four large Sudanese ships departed Port Sudan earlier today, to rendezvous with the Cargo Star and offload the weapons in mid-sea and await further instructions from Tehran.
Iranian-Sudanese collaboration has been a growing cause of concern over the past several years. Precision strikes on arms stockpiles, facilities, and convoys within Sudan (the most recent one having occurred on Wednesday, Oct. 24) have been blamed on Israel by Sudanese officials. Israel has neither confirmed nor denied the accusations.

Time to exercise Israeli submarines.
Those ships aren’t long for this world. They’ll see be 20,000 leagues under the sea.
WE HAVE HASHEM WITH US #JEWS………BZH MOSIACH IS COMING!!!
#s 1 & 2 above. I totally agree. Blow them clean out of the water and they hit the water again the ships will be in pieces only.
Sad
Debka as a source is unreliable.
I was introduced to Debka a few years ago, but quickly stopped reading it as so often it proved to be incorrect.
It’s not that they were always wrong, bit they were wrong so often as to render the site worthless. So I wouldn’t get all bent out of shape based merely on a report by Debka. It needs verification.
No one talks about such things, especially during a war.
That this is in the press should make one doubt its accuracy. If the Israelis were aware of a ship bound for Gaza with military cargo, the last thing they would do is issue a press release.
