ANKARA, Turkey—Turkey's foreign minister said Friday the country's authorities have intercepted an arms shipment from Iran to Syria.
Ahmet Davutoglu confirmed a report saying a truck containing weapons had been intercepted. He said an investigation has been launched but didn't elaborate.
German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung on Thursday reported "western diplomatic sources" saying Turkey had stopped a weapons delivery from Iran on its way to Syria, believed to be destined for Lebanon's Hezbollah militia.
In March, Turkish authorities seized the cargo of an Iranian plane bound for Syria because the shipment violated U.N. sanctions. Turkish media said the aircraft was carrying light weapons, including automatic rifles, rocket launchers and mortars.
