The weapons were either delivered directly to Hezbollah via “commercial flights from Beirut” or flown to Damascus and then loaded into trucks for the Terror groups.

According to the report Iran’s Al-Quds Force packs weapons, ammunition and missile technology to Hezbollah in suitcases and loads them on Mahan Air flights. Since Iran is the primary supplier of arms and related materiel to Hezbollah, they are in blatant violation of numerous Security Council resolutions. Iran is Hezbollah’s chief patron having set up the terrorist group in the early 1980s.
The disclosure of Iran’s violation comes as the United States Senate is expected to vote to renew sanctions on Iran for an additional decade. Earlier this week the House of Representatives voted to extend the Sanctions.
Last September the Obama administration granted permission to the aircraft manufacturers to sell airliners to Iran in a deal worth some $50 billion, following the removal of sanctions against Iran.
