Iranian Aid Flotilla Cancelled, Won't Sail To Gaza
Haaretz ^ | 24 June 2010 | Haaretz Service

One of the organizers of an Iranian aid flotilla that was to said to Gaza in efforts to break Israel's naval blockade on the territory, announced Thursday that the event has been cancelled due to "Israeli threats."

Army Radio reported that a separate Iranian ship, carrying 60 Iranian activists, was being prepared to sail to Gaza via the Caspian Sea. This after the Lebanese media reported several days ago that Egypt has denied Israel's request to prevent Iranian ships from passing through the Suez Canal toward Egypt.

Iran has other worries about “Israeli Threats” to deal with. Iran will need those supplies going to the pals pretty soon.

Hmm, last I check the Caspian Sea is landlocked. I don’t think Israel had much to worry about.

It could be a Caspian-Volga-Black Sea-Istanbul tour, and then from Turkey to the Mediterranean... A lot of effort just to be stopped by Israel’s navy. Doable but silly.

Since Israel will now allow the ships to be unloaded and aid delivered by land, were the objective humanitarian, I'd expect to see more ships sailing, not fewer.
