Two Iranian ships intended to head for Hamas-controlled Gaza are waiting for their government's approval to challenge Israel on the high seas, escorted by "volunteer marines" that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wants to send "to teach Israelis a lesson."
An Iranian Red Crescent official said the two ships are waiting for the Iranian foreign ministry to give the green light for launching, according to the French news service AFP, quoting the Iranian Mehr news service. The Red Crescent said a third ship probably would join the fleet.
Red Crescent official Mojtaba Majd also claimed that more than 100,000 Iranians have signed up to board the ships, but only those with "expertise" would be accepted. Majd did not define the area of expertise required.
Ali Shirazi, the Revolutionary Guards's spokesman for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said it was "Iran's duty to defend the innocent people of Gaza."

Dead carpets flying.
Eventually...the prediction will be become reality. I am ready.
What great time to send the IAF on a bombing run of QOM,Tehran, etc. Send a couple thousand of Amanutjobs best marines to Davey Jones Locker and turn Iran into a 8th world country. Whoops, I forgot they are already an 8th world country.
I have never seen a country paint a target on themselves and dare another country to blast the sh#t out of them so blatantly. Iran knows that Obastard isn’t going to do anything so it’s up to the Israelis.
“volunteer marines”????? ahem. That is simply a lie (think obmanation talk).
More like sucide terrorists: “Red Crescent official Mojtaba Majd also claimed that more than 100,000 Iranians have signed up to board the ships, but only those with “expertise” (anxious to kill or be killed for allah) would be accepted.”
Sink ‘em with a full spread of torpedoes.
Depth-charge any survivors.
Ignore protests. The rest of the A-rabs hate Iran as much as we do.
I demand that the muslims leave Persia...
......No, I say Russian......
Yep. I can accept that possibility top.
From the article....”Ahmadinejad reportedly told Turkish leaders in Istanbul last week that the vessels would be prepared for a direct clash with the Israeli Defense Forces”....
It surely appears Iran wants a war and their mouths are drueling for it......and to think the original Flotilla was a “peaceful” intent....yea right! Everyone on those ships should be held accountable for what ever transpires from the day they first sailed and ignored the blockade....this has been a deliberate provication from the get go.....and where is Obama????? Golfing or entertaining his latest party! The ME thugs are on the move now because they can .... with no fear of retaliation.
*ping*
It certainly seems that they are trying to get a war off the ground in several parts of the world. I've felt that perhaps the reasoning behind this was to jumpstart the economy, and also to radically reduce youth unemployment by starting up a draft.
What say you?
Thank Heaven that Bibi is no pussy unlike the pretender in chief. Popcorn and beer at the ready.
I wonder if the Iranians are good swimmers?
Yes, because they know they have an ally in Obama.
Wars have started over crap like this....and the likes of Cindy Sheehan have their names written all over whatever outcome occurs now....I’ll refrain from what I am thinking....
There is no doubt this is all a planned operation from the get go to provoke Israel and get the war they so desperately want....I am livid bo stands on the sidelines and by doing nothing he is supporting Iran...the ^&%^$%%#$*()*_*^&*%^$%#$#@#!$#$#%^&&&*^(&)*_
Yes. Gamers. This is reality, which lately seems easily confused with entertainment.
Better stop the clueless Iranians. The Israelis will kill them!
And the lesson will be “This is how easy it is to sink the an Iranian ship”
It could be said that Obama politically supporting the Palestinians will lead to this disaster.
Obama is not only destroying the USA, he will destroy the free world.
Biblical prophesy being played out right before our eyes.
