Iran denies link to arms shipment intercepted by Israel

Nov 4, 2009, 15:38 GMT

Tehran - Iran on Wednesday denied it had tried to ship arms to the Hezbollah group in Lebanon as claimed by Israel after Israeli commandoes seized a commercial cargo ship off its coast. Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying 'the report was not true. The ship was heading for Iran from Syria carrying Syrian goods, not weapons.' Further details were not given. Mottaki's comment was directly counter to Israel's account that weapons had been found on board the ship, which was intercepted 160 kilometres off the Israeli coast, and that the weapons shipment had originated at the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas.
