Damascus : Blocking the arm vessel "Francop" reflects Israeli concerns towards the ease that Iranian-Western relations are witnessing nowadays, a Syrian gazette said Friday.
The step aimed at "alerting" the world and directing it towards anti-Iran stances driven by risks that Iran's nuclear program might present, Syrian daily, Al-Thawra said.
It noted that this move comes at a time that the UN is looking into the Goldstone report which documents Israeli crimes in Gaza.
The current Israeli agenda is directed towards shifting the international focus to the arms of which the ship was carrying rather than to divert emphasis from the Goldstone report, it said.
Syrian Foreign Minister Waleed Al-Mualem denied during his visit to Tehran Israeli claims saying that the vessel was carrying weaponry and was heading to Syria or Hezbollah.
