After hanging up Tom's call, Gao Guang pondered for a long time.
Feeling that he had considered everything thoroughly, Gao Guang dialed Salah's number and immediately said, "Tell me, what's the deal with your shipment being detained by the CIA?"
Salah had finally received a call from Gao Guang. After sponsoring so much money, he was finally seeing results.
"One of my shipments, mainly drones and some rocket launchers, has been detained in Iraq, under orders from the CIA."
The CIA wouldn't directly intervene in Iraq because they're an intelligence agency, not an enforcement unit. They don't have the manpower or authority to detain a shipment of unidentified arms. At most, the CIA would provide intelligence, and then the stationed US forces would seize the goods. But it's more likely that the Iraqis did it and, due to the CIA's involvement, after seizing the shipment, the Iraqis neither investigated who was behind it nor confiscated or destroyed the arms.
