IRANIAN WAR MOVE AGAINST ISRAEL?

The Israeli Navy has intercepted an Iranian cargo ship loaded with Iranian missiles evidently destined for Hamas in Gaza.  A murky trail of paperwork and the circuitous route of the Panama-flagged ship showed a major effort to hide the cargo and the parties involved. The Israeli Defense Forces say the weapons aboard the ship, now being towed to the southern Israeli port of Eilat on the Red Sea, were bound for the terrorist enclave of Gaza via the Sinai Peninsula.  

Sinai, the lawless peninsula between Egypt's mainland and Israel, has in recent years become a hotbed of jihadist activity.  Many attacks against Israel have been launched from Gaza in the past, and this missile shipment could indicate on overt move by Iran to facilitate such an attack using Iranian M-302 missiles.  As second possibility is that the missiles would be used by Hamas against Egypt.  

I doubt that the Iranians would try this move if the United States was more proactive in dealing with such threats.  Events involving Syria, North Korea, Iran and now the Ukraine not only embolden terrorist groups and radical Islamic states, but the impetus is for them to make as much headway as possible in their agendas before Obama leaves office.  

Things in that part of the world are "testy" to say the least.  I think the danger of World War III has never been greater than it is right now.  Thank you, Mr. President.  Why don't you take your Nobel Peace Prize and shove it? 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
