Μέτρα από το Πεντάγωνο μετά την κατάσχεση εμπορικού πλοίου από το Ιράν

Two men fish as a Cypriot-flagged container ship, believed to be the vessel that U.S. authorities suspect is carrying an Iranian arms shipment bound for Hamas militants in Gaza, rests anchored off the Cypriot port of Limassol Saturday Jan. 31, 2009. The saga of a ship suspected of carrying arms from Iran to Gaza grew more complicated Saturday as Cypriot authorities searched the ship, then backed away from previous assertions that it was violating U.N. resolutions. Authorities will now conduct a second search, the Cypriot foreign minister said. Suspicions that the Cypriot-flagged container ship Monchegorsk was ferrying arms from Iran to the militant Palestinian organization Hamas had been raised by the United States. The U.S. military stopped the vessel in the Red Sea last week but could not legally detain it or seize its cargo.
