Shouldn’t matter who was the intended recipient. IF it’s carrying arms, and it’s from Iran, it’s up to no good. Scuttle it.

One official says it was boarded with the consent of the vessel's crew on Monday and Tuesday.

I imagine that having a 76 mm deck gun and a triple-tube 324 mm torpedo launcher pointed your way makes volunteering to be searched an easy choice. :)

The search turned up ammunition that included artillery shells. But one official said that since Hamas is not known to use artillery, officials are now uncertain who the intended recipient was.

Ever hear of IEDs? One of the usual components is artillery shells.
