Honestly, I never thought I would go on record as saying this, but a big Thank You! to the Iranian Government and (presumably) the Revolutionary Guard.<\/p>\n

Iran may have donated thousands of assault rifles and thousands of tons of ammunition to the Ukrainian war effort after the U.S. Navy confiscated the weapons from suspected smuggling ships in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

The U.S. military is considering sending the weapons along to Ukraine after confiscating them in the Gulf of Oman. The weapons include 5,000 assault rifles, 1.6 million rounds of ammunition, a handful of anti-tank missiles, and over 7,000 proximity fuses, according to The Wall Street Journal. The potential new source of military aid comes as Ukraine’s Western allies sound the alarm over ammunition expenditure.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Navy seized 2,000 assault rifles when boarding a suspected smuggling vessel in early January. French special forces seized an additional 3,000 assault rifles in a joint operation in late January.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
