The United Arab Emirates has seized an Australian flagged ship which contained arms such as grenade launchers, munitions, detonators, and explosives from North Korea headed for Iran.
This is just the latest example of military cooperation between Iran and North Korea. Earlier this year, Iranian scientists were present during North Korea's launch of long range missiles. Bloomberg
Aug. 28 (Bloomberg) -- The United Arab Emirates has seized a ship carrying North Korean-manufactured munitions, detonators, explosives and rocket-propelled grenades bound for Iran in violation of United Nations sanctions, diplomats said.
The UAE two weeks ago notified the UN Security Council of the seizure, according to the diplomats, who spoke on condition they aren’t named because the communication hasn’t been made public. They said the ship, owned by an Australian subsidiary of a French company and sailing under a Bahamian flag, was carrying 10 containers of arms disguised as oil equipment.

I wonder why this is only coming out now. You would think they would have reported this when it happened to strengthen the case against North Korea.
