Boroujerdi clarified that this flotilla, which includes Majlis members, is distinct from the one being organized by the Iranian Red Crescent.”

Iran Revolutionary Guards ready to escort Gaza ships

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.”

Looks like the Iranian leaders read the news papers. Saudi Arabians making a pathway for Israel through their country to Iran.

“The aid flotilla planned to set sail from Lebanon is supported by Syria and Hezbollah. Its organizer, Yasser Qashlaq, called for “getting rid of the remainder of the garbage of Europe” [the Jews in Israel] and sending them back to their “homelands.””

[Richard Kimball]

The Saudis would love to see one of the infidels take out Iran. They fear and detest the Iranians, and do not want to see them be the power brokers of the Middle East. They do not have the capability of confronting Iran, though.

That's what I love about Muslims. Sunnis killing Shi'ites. Saudis hating Iranians. It's proof that even if there weren't any Jews to kill, they'd still be able to improvise and find someone that needed killing.

US speaks out against aid flotillas to Gaza
Published: 06.24.10, 21:03 / Israel News

The US State Department denounced the preparations to send additional aid flotillas to the Gaza Strip. It said there are mechanisms for transferring humanitarian aid to Gaza via states and organizations that wish to do so, and sending such goods directly by sea is not responsible and not efficient.

I knew it! Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is all hat, no cattle! LOL. What a LOSER!

[stevie_d_64]

He’s the Persian Version of a “chickensh!!te”...

He knows he cannot beat anyone in a straight up fight...He’d rather get a nuke tipped missile to fly, than try to goad someone into a conventional fight...

Thats what actually makes him dangerous...But most armchair political and “military experts” analysts are to skull-blocked to see the obvious...

I (and a few others) actually fought the Iranians in the Persian Gulf back in 1987...Most people forget that little party...They were no match then, got their arses handed to them, and it will be the same if they ever get froggy again...Even worse this next time...

So once again they prove their courage and fortitude by a lack thereof...

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.
