Russia has vehemently denied reports that the Maltese registered vessel Arctic Sea had been carrying anti-aircraft missiles to Iran. Russian authorities invited Maltese officials to participate in the investigations. Rumors of an illicit cargo of anti-aircraft missiles surfaced lately after unofficial Russian and Israeli agents claimed that she had been carrying missiles bound for Iran.

The vessel is being thoroughly investigated after it was hijacked off the Swedish coast late July while carrying timber from Finland to Algeria. A search and rescue operation was immediately launched by the Russian navy to intercept the vessel after she failed to reach the Algerian port of Bejaia on August 4th.
