So a flotilla of ships leaving the Gulf of Aden and entering the Red Sea are ‘approaching’ Gaza? I guess.
Maybe ships leaving Norfolk are ‘approaching’ N. Korea?
What’s the point of ships passing into the Red Sea from the Med, if the flotilla ‘approachin’ Gaza actually IS approaching Gaza?
Maybe Iran expressed its intention that the destination of the flotilla IS Gaza, ergo passage through Suez will be necessary (which Egypt stated it would not prohibit). To head this event off, a fleet of U.S. / Israeli vessels are headed into the Red Sea for a showdown.
Better to board them search them and in the middle of the Indian Ocean than allow them into the Mediterranean. At least, that’s my guess.
You don’t know about the Iranian Guard flotilla to Gaza?
