Iranian Marines Set To Escort Flotilla 'To Teach Israel Lessons'
IsraelNationalNews ^ | June 13, 2010 | By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

Posted on 06/13/2010 5:47:23 AM PDT by Fennie

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."

If this happens, Iran can begin building their new navy soon. I would recommend building glass bottomed boats. That way, the Iranians can still see their old navy!

Declaration of Iranian Elite Research Center (IREC) on inviting worldwide Human Right activists for taking part in the aid flotilla setting sail toward Gaza strip.

Zionist wild attack and taking over the freedom convoy evidently shade light upon their non-human, racist and anti Human Right nature more than ever. It is more highlighted especially by finding out that the on-board and killed passengers were ranged as human right activists.

As a non-governmental organization which is in special consultative status with the United Nation, The Iranian Elite Research Center has been actively involved in many international operations dealing with human right. IREC, along with universal communities, not only condemns Gaza blockade and taking over Gaza-bound aid flotillas, but proclaims that it is winding its way through setting a flotilla sail for Gaza strip. Therefore, IREC calls on the entire human right activists all over the world to contribute kindly to this enterprise by accompanying the ship.

What follows is contact information for those interested in being in touch with the IREC freedom convoy irec@irecngo.org
Contact number: 00982122915155

Iranian Official: Egypt Has Authorized Iranian Delegation to Enter Gaza

Majlis National Security Committee chairman Alaeddin Boroujerdi said that the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the Egyptian parliament, Muhammad Al-Fiqi, has authorized the members of the Iranian flotilla, which is to arrive via the Suez Canal, to enter Gaza through the Rafah border crossing.

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

Egypt has told the US and European countries that the maritime blockade should not be lifted because it would be too difficult to inspect ships entering Gaza port to ensure they do not carry weaponry. Egypt regards Hamas as a dangerous neighbour and fears the Islamic group’s contacts with the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood inside Egypt. It has attempted without success over the years to persuade Hamas to merge with the moderate Palestinian Authority.

Egypt would not be happy to allow the Iranian vessel sail through the Suez Canal.

Remember, also, McCain saying you don’t have to be afraid of an 0bama presidency...

Oh come on, he's just the kind of guy we need back in the U.S. Senate for six more years. Haven't you heard?

I’m sure these deranged 12th Imam types will be saying, “Yeah, we sure taught those dirty Jews,” as their ships lie at the bottom of the Med.

Be a shame if the Iranians were to by some fluke run into a leftover German mine or two from WWII which nobody knew was still there...

Plausible deniability.

“Volunteer marines” could mean suicide bombers, who wouldn’t hesitate if they could take some Israeli commandos with them.
