Eight days after Hezbollah's war with Israel began, U.S. diplomats persuaded Turkey and Iraq to deny the plane permission to cross their territory to Damascus, a transfer point for arms to Hezbollah, the officials said.Check out that time line, and the fact that both Iraq and Turkey worked to keep Iran from increasing the amount of weapons in the area. Pay close attention to the Iranian Flight plans and what they did when given the choice of flying through Turkey and being inspected, they turned back. That is proof enough that they had something that most people would not approve of being sent to Hizbolah. Either that or they were simply stupid.
The officials described this timeline:
•July 15: Three days after the war began, a source tipped off U.S. intelligence about an imminent shipment of missiles from Iran to Hezbollah.
•July 19: A spy satellite photographed Iranian crews loading three missile launchers and eight crates, each normally used to carry a Chinese-designed C-802 Noor missile, aboard a transport plane at Mehrabad air base near Tehran. Israel says Hezbollah fired a C-802, a precision-guided anti-ship cruise missile, at an Israeli warship off Lebanon's coast on July 14.
•July 20: The Ilyushin Il-76 transport plane left for Damascus, but Iraqi air-traffic controllers denied it permission to enter Iraq's airspace. The Iranian flight crew then requested permission to fly over Turkey. Turkish controllers granted permission — but only if the plane would land for an inspection. The plane returned to Tehran, where the military cargo was unloaded.
•July 22: The plane flew humanitarian aid to Damascus after stopping for inspection in Turkey.
Here is more proof, of the fact that Iran is now the source for 90% of all the trouble in the region. USATODAY.com - Trained eye can see right through box of weapons
You make the call.
