Iran Revolutionary Guards ready to escort Gaza ships 06 Jun 2010 12:40:35 GMT Source: Reuters TEHRAN, June 6 (Reuters) - Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards are ready to provide a military escort to cargo ships trying to break Israel's blockade of Gaza, a representative of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Sunday.
"Iran's navy forces are ready to escort the peace flotilla to Gaza with all their powers and capabilities," Ali Shirazi, Khamenei's representative inside the Revolutionary Guards, was quoted as saying by the semi-official Mehr news agency.
Any intervention by the Iranian military would be considered highly provocative by Israel which accuses Iran of supplying weapons to Hamas, the Islamist movement which rules Gaza.
The Guards, with their own navy, air force and command structure separate from the regular armed forces, are seen as fiercely loyal to the values of the Islamic Republic.
"If the Supreme Leader issues an order for this then the Revolutionary Guard naval forces will do their best to secure the ships," Shirazi said. "It is Iran's duty to defend the innocent people of Gaza."

That will help.
Iranian ships which get into missile launching range of Israel should be sunk.
How's that "Smart Diplomacy" working out?
It is just so much bluster. Even they are not that insane.
Aw, man, I’d pay to see that!
The Iranian ships will be sunk.
Normally this woudn’t be so scarey, but will Obama offer to provide protection to the Gaza bound, terrorist relief convoys too?
Perhaps to bring in supplies and carry out Jews (back to Poland and Germany).
That’s what I was thinking. They’ll do something provocative but short of actually confronting the Israelis.
The IDF will kick their elite muslim asses all the way to Hell.
Time for Israel to nuke an Islamic Terrorist State or two....
Some of the faux cons who claim there is “democracy brewing” in Iran may not like it....but it is time for Israel to do something.
Iran is just provoking war
The IDF had not use paint ball guns this time. I believe the Iranians will have there butts handed to them. Also, they are way out of their league and territory for any assistance from the mother ship.
BS. It'll be more like a couple of useful idiots and a general cleanout of the Tehran morgue dressed up in sailor suits. Iran wouldn't use their highly trained personnel on a mission like this, even if they were stupid enough to attempt it in the first place.
Me too. I would love to see all those European socialists on those cargoships trying to get to Gaza when all hell could literally break out at sea. I’m predicting those European socialists are not that brave. So the whole thing is a non-starter IMHO.
OH my goodness this is bad.
Let the Iranian Revolutionary Guard come to the Mediterranean and be supportive of Hamas. get it out in the open. Soon Obozo will have to make a stand against Islam. If he fails to make a stand he will look weak like Jimmy Ass Carter. Iran knows the USA has a wekling for president, the same radicals of 1979-1981 in Iran are now the power class. See elections have consequences - An ignorant arrognant appeasement liberal pissant will cause more difficulties to arise - crisis after crisis with nothing being solved - throw more money at it. Dum ass supposed college graduate where are the college transcripts.
Can't agree more.
The dirty little secret in the Middle East are the "Palestinians" are the white trash of Arab world.
If the Jews moved back to Poland or Germany like the old hag Thomas says they should, the Arab world would overrun "Palestinian" and subjugate them in mere days.
Plus, if Iran really had the capacity to back up all their hot air they already would have done it. That's why their nuclear program is on-going so they use that BIG STICK in backing up their BS
Who’s going to let them through the Suez Canal?
