Iran has accused Israel of falsifying claims that it had seized an Iranian shipment of weapons bound for Palestinian militants in Gaza aboard a merchant ship. Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, said that Israel’s assertion, made Wednesday, was suspiciously timed, coming during a meeting in Washington of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the powerful pro-Israel lobbying organization that is one of Iran’s most influential critics in American politics. The Israeli military said a Panamanian-flagged ship was seized by Israeli commandos a thousand miles from the southern Israeli city of Eilat, and was carrying dozens of Syrian-made M-302 rockets that Iran had helped to transport to Iraq, where the ship had loaded them. “An Iranian ship carrying arms for Gaza , captured just in time for that annual AIPAC anti-Iran campaign,” Zarif said on Twitter. “Amazing coincidence, or same failed lies.”
