Iran Was Destination of N. Korean Arms, Thailand Says
Businessweek
31-Jan-2010 (12 comments)

"Iran was the destination of 40 tons of weapons from North Korea that were seized in Bangkok on Dec. 12, according to a confidential report to the United Nations Security Council by Thailand’s government.

A copy of the report, obtained from diplomats whose governments hold Security Council seats, says the cargo’s destination was Airport Mahrabad in Tehran. It says the plane departed from the North Korean capital Pyongyang and that the shipper was the Korea Mechanical Industry Co.

Thai authorities seized the Russian-made Ilyushin II-76 cargo aircraft after receiving tips from several different intelligence agencies. The report says the cargo included 49 rockets, a rocket launcher, three crates of fuses and rocket- propelled grenades."

Hah!

The story has changed! Now they're saying the plane was routed to Ukraine.

I told you so.

Hey onlyiran: cool your jets. I take abuse for just about every one of my posts and comments. You don't see me crying to JJ about it. If you're offended by a comment, simply ignore it. That's what I do. It works great!

Iranianmilitaryforum: Are

Iranianmilitaryforum: Are you Lebanese? You sure sound like Hizballhi from South Lebanon...

Mr. Administrator, you should block this Iranmilitaryforum user

by Onlyiran on

I have had two exchanges with this user and in both cases he has attacked me personally.  I have also seen him do the same thing to other users.  I read in the comments that he was blocked before.  I seriously think that you should consider blocking him again because from what its seems, he is a non-Iranian individual who is on this site just to create tension.  Additionally, he is unable to engage in any kind of a discussion with other users without resorting to name calling and creating what amounts to a violent and unproductive exchange.  In sum, he is an instigator.

I usually have a policy of not making things personal.  But in this case, I think that you should not allow this instigator to continue to harass other users on this site.  Plus, most of his posts are irrelevant to Iran anyway.  They are almost exclusively about Israel and Palestine, which have nothing to do with Iran.    

*****************************************************

As for your comment, sir, unlike you, I am an Iranian, and I couldn't give a rat's behind about Hezbollah, Palestine and Israel.  They can all go to hell as far as I'm concerned.  Moreover, unlike you, my job is not to sit behind a computer and post irrelevant stuff about a conflict that has nothing to do with my country just to divert attention from atrocities that are being committed in my homeland. Lastly, hassan Nasrollah is a terrorist and a coward.  If he wasn't, he wouldn't be hiding underground and among a civilian population when people were being blown to pieces.  But even as such, he had more decency than you because he came out and apologized on video to the Lebanese people for the carnage that he had brought upon them and said that what he did was a mistake.  You, on the other hand, still insist that he was right!!!!

And only cowards hide behind the skirts

of civilians and fire rockets from inside civilian areas. Hezbollah knew very well the suffering it will bring onto the Lebanese people by attacking Israel but it did it anyway.

That is your "martyrdom" BS for you. Go and jeopardize your own population instead of protect them, so that they can become martyrs (willingly or unwillingly) for your pathetic cause.

Hezbollah and Israel are both war criminals, and you are on an Iranian website, not a Lebanese or Israeli one. Which foreign anti Iranian power is paying you for your thuggery?

Onlyiran, you need to be looking into right sources

 Israel demolished half of South Lebanon.  More than a thousand innocent
civillians lost their lives, and only a few Israeli soldiers died.

Only cowards go to war against the civlilians as you mentioned. your country's armed forces (IDF), in spite the fact of having the most sophisticated weapon systems of any kind at their disposal, resorted to collective punishment of innocent civilians out of desperation not out of a victory. IDF was "Mauled" not just defeated against three to five thousands of rag tag Hezbollah militia military speaking. The IDf proved what a pathetic of armed forces it is in spite the fact that American taxpayers pour unlimited money into Israeli pockets year after year. The level of incompetency reached its hights when IDF started to literally smoke civilians out of shear desperation and military humilation.Israe, repeated military cowardice again in Gaza strip later which led to UN Israeli conviction for crimes against humanity!

Those who put Hezbollah before Iran are the foreign agent

by Fair on

like you.

This thread was about Iran purchasing crappy N Korean weapons until you hijacked it and IC did a poor job of moderating it.

Indeed, no other word is necessary. The motives here are very clear for those who want to see.

Have a nice life in South Lebanon where you belong.

Hezbollah did not defeat Israel Mr. Militaryforum

by Onlyiran on

Israel demolished half of South Lebanon.  More than a thousand innocent civillians lost their lives, and only a few Israeli soldiers died.  If by "defeating" you mean that Hassan Nasrollah survived, then you have a pretty low standard for "victory".  Even Nasrollah himself came on TV afterwards and apologized for his mistake in attacking Israel--which by the way, was totally unnecessary because at the time Israel was not occupying Lebanon nor was it thretening to do so.  Hezbollah did not accomplish anything by attacking Israel, xcept a damaged ship,a few dead soldiers and a bunch of Hezbollah terrorists released from prison at the expense of the lives of more than a thousand civillians. In fact, the only people who repeat the propaganda of Hezbollah "winning" that conflict are the conflict's real instigators and paymasters, the IRI and its dead-ender supporters.  Even Nasrollah himself doesn't think he won!

Thanks for introducing yourself

by IranMilitaryForum.net on

The secret to Hezbollah's "success" is that it completely disregarded its own and the other side's civilians and launched attacks from civilian areas against other civilians. Very simple. That is why they are just as guilty of war crimes as Israel is.

This is exactly the Israeli propaganda line. No other word is necessary.

Sir

by IranMilitaryForum.net on

Lebanon's people who had to suffer war because of  Hezbollah terrorists and Iranians who are forced by imposed IRI to still pay money to terrorists after Hezbollah was badly defeated.

I am glad that you admit Israel took its rage to innocent Lebanese women and children just to give a new meaning to state terrorism.

One only has to read UN reports on Israeli invasions into Lebanon and Gaza to determine international consensus on committing crimes against humanity by Israel. But of course this is too much to ask for some trigger happy vengeful people who are too quick to support any allegation against Iran and such facts are simply ignored as minor. Thank god these insignificant people are not in position power, one can imagine what they would do to Iranian people and then blame IRI for it just as they vehemently support massacres of Lebanese and Palestinians? 


Let me put  interesting question to,would you blame Mr. Yaboo if Iran smoked half of Israel for many reasons including killing Iranian scientists and threatening Iran with nuclear attacks ?  


I'm skeptical of this report's conclusion. I don't believe Iran has a need for these types of arms from the DPRK. They represent types manufactured in Iran.

Sargord, such details are easily sacrificed for the sake of cheap propaganda to gain points for some so called Iranians. I am learning very fast how to unmask many of these gentlemen whose backgrounds as "Iranians" are highly questionable here. Who on earth would promote the massacaring of his own people like Israelis did to Lebanese and Palestinians just to be happy to score a point against a political entity called IRI? Only non Iranians fearful of their own future may play such sick games not Iranians.

I suppose anything is possible, though. But it just sounds more like an private arms dealer operation more than anything else.

Joke of the day ?!

by IranFirst on

yes Keyhan's and Basij fantasies are really funny :-), be hameen Khial baash
the losers are
Lebanon's people who had to suffer war because of  Hezbollah terrorists and Iranians who are forced by imposed IRI to still
pay money to terrorists after Hezbollah was badly defeated.

This
is an IRANIAN forum and IRI/Arab obsessions with Israeli Palestinian
stuff has nothing to do with Iran. We may have some free time after IRI
is sent to the garbage dump of the history soon :-)

Correction needed

by IranMilitaryForum.net on

Regardless of the authenticity of this report, the junk you have referred to is the same junk that badly mauled one of the most powerful armed forces today, that is Israeli Defence Forces. That Israeli defeat by a rag tag Hezbollah militia is the subject of many cenetrs of strategic studies around the world as we speak.
