Half will be sent through Istanbul; Iranian MPs will fly to Gaza.
Two Iranian cargoes of humanitarian aid for Gaza will leave next week and one of them will be shipped through Istanbul, the official Iranian news agency, IRNA reported Monday.
The announcement quoted Mohammad Ali Nouraee, an aid official, who said one cargo will be sent to Turkey, and then shipped to Gaza from Istanbul while the other will leave from the port of Khorramshahr.
Nouraee said that the ships would sail without protective security because the Iranians “do not want to fight", however he emphasized that "we are willing to become martyred in this way.”
According to IRNA, a senior official of the the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, Deputy Commander Hossein Salami, has said that escorting the two cargo ships "was not on the guards agenda."

I've been told that Iran does a lot of trade under the table with Israel anyway. File this under "so what". They'll inspect it, and the supplies will be delivered.

I wouldn’t doubt if the intent is to create an incident.

...however he emphasized that "we are willing to become martyred in this way.” Well who are we to deny them that?

"we are willing to become martyred in this way.” Fine. Let them have their wish.

Correct farsi to english translation: Nouraee said that the ships would sail without protective security because the Iranians “do not want to fight swim", however he emphasized that "we are willing to become martyred learn heads-up freestyle in this way.”

Perhaps this is a way to diffuse the situation. The Iranian vessels will be diverted, docked, unloaded, thoroughly inspected and then delivered.
Gaza must not refuse aid from Iran, even aid meeting kosher rules. The precedent is set. Don’t avoid the blockade, abide by Israeli rules.
The war will be over something more important.
Plausible?

Very plausible.
I don't think Iran wants to go to war with Israel though. They very much would like to see a lot of others do it.

That is their goal, not just a wish. These guys fought Sadam and it was primarily as martyrs in human wave fighting. They want to die for the state and Islam in this event.

If they are boarded and inspected, this will amount to nothing.

Israel imports Iranian oil; Israel gets around the boycott by having the oil delivered via Europe.
Just go to war on all the Middle East oil procucing countries, take over and rename them. Do it now while we have the means.
