West accuses Iran of shipping arms to Syria

AP

(AP) UNITED NATIONS - The four Western powers trying to rein in Iran's nuclear program are accusing Tehran of shipping arms to Syria in violation of United Nations sanctions and ignoring demands from the U.N. to open key nuclear facilities to its inspectors.

The United States, Britain, France and Germany expressed growing concern that Iran's goal is building a nuclear arsenal — not nuclear power plants for peaceful civilian use as Tehran insists.

U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice told a Security Council meeting Thursday on the implementation of U.N. sanctions that members can't be complacent about Iran's "latest leaps forward in its prohibited nuclear activities."

Rice and ambassadors from the other Western powers expressed serious concern at Iran's arms exports to President Bashar Assad's regime in violation of a U.N. ban against all weapons exports.

I find it odd that the Western Nations believe that arms are being shipped to Syria when they have told us they have this major embargo on Iran and Iran is starting to feel the effects.

We have an enormous amount of assets in the area to be able to watch Iran so tell me how those arms got through to Syria?

I support my nation but selling arms is nothing new for a lot of nations and when you disagree with the country selling them you complain...little hypocritical. If this nation wants to lead don't let those arms get there in the first place.
