World: A British Navy statement claimed that one of its warships seized Iranian weapons, including surface-to-air-missiles and engines for cruise missiles, from smugglers in international waters south of Iran early this year.

A helicopter from the frigate HMS Montrose spotted speedboats moving away from the Iranian coast on January 28 and February 25, and dozens of packages containing the advanced weaponry were confiscated, the Royal Navy said in a statement Thursday.

Although the play of seizing ships containing Iranian weapons sent to Yemen by the US and British navies is not a new thing. There are many such meager plays that Britain and the US were used previously, for the sake taking money from Saudi Arabia and the Emirates.

Or the latter two regimes use these allegations to justify giving the money for the British-American regimes. Time came a few days before US President Joe Biden's visit to Saudi Arabia, while the incident took place 7 months ago, which confirms that the visit will witness the “milking” operation. This reminds us of Trump's scandalous milking of Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

The British and American plays, about seizing Iranian weapons smuggled into Yemen, did not convince even Western public opinion, due to their insignificance. The US and Britain, which monitor everything  in the region, why do they not provide documents that prove the seizures of these Iranian boats. They did not publish films and pictures about those operations, or showing Iranian soldiers who were captured during the seizure of those boats?

In the British Navy statement, the document showed nothing but “missile engines” that could have been simply identified, and there is no need to send it to Britain, but it seems that the latter wanted, through this play, to increase the money that Saudi Arabia and the UAE must pay .

It is shameful that Britain is trying to appear as someone trying to put an end to the war in Yemen, while figures published in British government reports indicate that it is considered the second largest exporter of arms in the world. It has exported more than 40 percent of its weapons to only one country, which is Saudi Arabia. The UAE is also considered Saudi Arabia's partner in the aggression against Yemen, as well as a major customer of Britain.

It is noteworthy that Britain supplied Saudi Arabia and the UAE with the most advanced and deadly weapons. It knows that this weapon is one of the reasons for the continuation of the worst humanitarian crisis and tragedy that the Yemeni people have lived through for 8 years. Its meager plays have not and will not erase the shame of killing the innocent children, women and old men of Yemen.
