This video was taken during the unloading of the seized vessel MV Francop.

It speaks for itself.

Here is a wiki for those who would like to read up on the event:

Yes absolutely fascinating, last year wasnt it?

While it is possible that Iran did indeed attempt to send in these ammunition, it seems as bit silly really as no large cargo ship had or indeed has broken the blockade to date, therefore the ship would be expected to be stopped and searched.

Incidentally if Iran/Syria did supply the ammunition seen in the video, why does it have US/UK production information: Ammunition Type, Date produced, lot numbers, Ammunition Classification data (using the Standard Nato descripters)?

Why would the Iranians use English to mark up ammunition bound for another Arabic user? And the outside of all containers have no arabic markings/danger signs?

The black ammunition round that was held upright and taken close ups of is a russian artillery shell.

Oh the Israelis import and use US/UK weapons and ammunition as well as home produced stuff.
