The Iranian Red Crescent on Monday announced that it had two aid ships ready to set sail for Gaza to break Israel’s maritime blockade, and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard offered to send its forces to thwart any Israeli attempt to intercept the vessels.
The Revolutionary Guard later extended its offer of protection to any ships trying to break the Gaza maritime blockade, but had yet to receive authorization from Iran’s religious authorities to take such action.
If Iranian warships were to accompany future blockade-busting “aid” flotillas, it would likely spark a very dangerous showdown with the Israeli navy, and possibly lead to regional war.
Observers noted that it is unlikely Iranian warships would be able to get to the Mediterranean to carry out their threat, as they would need to pass through Egypt’s Suez Canal to do so. Iran and Egypt are regional rivals, and the probability that Egypt would let Iranian warships pass through the canal is small, especially since there would undoubtedly be heavy international pressure on Egypt to not let the Iranians pass.

Lets just all hope that the Samson option
never takes place !
Hey Liberal Todd, the Jews own the mass media.
I am speaking against them and you.
You are obviously a Jew which has infiltrated America.
The Republican party is a Leftist agenda.
And the Democrats are extremist-Leftist.
You can go home now to Jew land.
I watch no TV, have no antenna for my LCD, no cable no dish.
Only Internet, I read for my news, and hold history critically. Because only the Victors Write the History books.
I am for Hebrews ie (Lebanese, Palestine) but not in favor of Lucifer’s Khazar/Jews.
Up separatism, down with racist mixing.
No one can commit hate crimes if we live in our own lands.
For the Bible says “Unto each people there lands have been appointed”
Jews started and won the 2-WW.
Biblically, they do not belong in Europe.
Go home, I want to live by people who act like good human beings.
By the way, your comments intention is transparent, and is divisive in nature. In the sense you are trying to miss-lead people into thinking I am a lefty and against them.
But I am hard core Center, which today is far Right of Leftist-Republicans.
Up David Duke or Ron Paul for President!
Dont give me no crap that Ron Paul is on the Republican ticket, he was on the Libertarian ticket for many years. But he just went in to get more in the main stream.
He says all the time he is a Libertarian, and stands that our Founding Fathers were too.
:roll:While I Agree The Blockade Needs To End,I Don’t Think Iran Should Go It Alone.I Think Iran Should Stay At Home And Worry About Those Three Submarines Off There Coast.,With Nuclear Tipped Cruse Missiles!. (WW-III People!).
You mean the same Hamas that was popularly elected by these people, under internationally observed elections? Israel ADMITS that it does not allow cement and other raw materials into Gaza at all. Its not that media feeds this n that. In this case, the facts are admitted to by Israel. Question is, who is going to stop this cowardly act of Israel. They’re trying to get between the people and the government they willfully elected. The reason being, because this government promises them to continue the resistance against the occupation. An occupation that is also internationally recognized under UN Security Council Resolutions. The situation is not very complicated, unless if you want to make it so.
Thank goodness!
What we need in this world is someone who actually cares about those less fortunate, those oppressed, those caught in the middle of a genocide.
Instead of just big empires ie (UK US UN IDF AU EU) masking behind “aid ships to humanity”.

Iran please break the blockade of bigotry! Make a run for peace and food to those who have been deprived of these essential needs.
Iran, I fully support your efforts to break the back of intolerance in this world.
The world lies when the global empire does not get there puppet government installed, and cry’s that Iran is not democratic. But Iran is more democratic then the UK US EU IDF AU combined.
My heart is with you, you have peace loving American Patriotic, followers of Christ here who see your suffering, and your good will.
I follow Jesus, and I hold out an honest and forward hand in friendship to your oppressed people.
Lucifer’s mass media does not speak for me, I speak for myself.
I pray often to Jesus that he protect you all, and watches out for all of his children.
Do not fret in this dark hour, for you hold the moral high ground, and that is what matters.
Patrick is obviously a product of believing everything the popular liberal media delivers.
Keep eating that delicious bowl of vomit and disinformation Patrick…
If you really WANT to know the truth, then turn off the popular media and research the entire situation for yourself and then you will be able to make INFORMED remarks instead of regurgitating the slop you’ve been fed.
There is NO humanitarian crisis in Gaza has a result of Israel. Tons of food and medical supplies are pouring into Gaza daily; more than enough to feed every one. The problem is Hamas that is purposefully keeping it from the poor in order to feed the illusion of mass starvation and mistreatment. Hamas is the enemy here.
Also Israel has the International right to have the blockade. Marinetime LAW supports it. It is only the media that is against it.
You need to direct your anger against the ones who are truly causing this misfortune which is HAMAS. Unless of course you fully support terrorists organizations in which case I’m wasting my time here.
The main source of hatred in the world is organized religion.
And, before you jump to disagree, try to think of another single source.
Since these people are, essentially, seventh century bigots, we should emphasize more the hatred between Sunni and Shia. The media are impotent on this.
Many Sunni, e.g., Al Qaeda, a totally Sunni organization, despise Shiites even more than Jews.
So, for example, you will never get an Al Qaeda chapter in Iran.
Shiites include Iran, the leadership (only) of Syria, much of Iraq, Bahrain, and most of Yemen.
Sunni include, well, everybody else.
Some pundits, in fact, claim that in this sense Israelis and Iran are natural allies,
if you can get your mind around that!
Don’t even think about trying to understand the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, both Sunni and Shi’a, and the Republic of India, neither one, of which, understands themselves.
All religion is like alcohol.
The more you indulge, the less coherent you sound.
