TEHERAN - Iran will give 300 light and heavy vehicles to the cash-strapped Hamas-led Palestinian government for municipal use, state television reported on Friday. The report did not say how the vehicles will be delivered, as no goods can enter the Palestinian territories without passing through Israel, IranÂ’s arch-enemy.

The announcement also did not say whether the gift is part of IranÂ’s pledge of 50 million dollars in aid.
The gift was announced during a visit to Iran by Palestinian transport minister Ziad al-Zaza. “By expanding economic and industrial ties with the Palestinian government we are aiming to alleviate the problems emanating from severe sanctions,” Iranian Industry Minister Ali Reza Tahmasebi was quoted as saying. “Iran plans to set up a vehicle assembly line, cement factory and other infrastructural industries for the Palestinians.”
| Because the Paleos are just pining to work on building their country, you know. |
