Danish sailors union cites US Iran arms covert deal
The Danish Sailors Union claims evidence that the United States arranged shipments of at least 3600 tons of U.S. made weapons and spare parts to Iran via Israel to secure the release of hostages in Lebanon. US sources cited by The New York Times and Washington Post say such shipments have continued for about 18 months. The union ties the transfers to hostage releases including Benjamin Weir, Lawrence Jenco, and David Jacobsen, noting a Morse crewmember witnessed 26 containers moved from Eilat to Bandar Abbas shortly before Jacobsen’s release.
