One of yesterday's 'top stories' in the int'l media: Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) will protect the next 'Peace and Freedom Convoys' to Gaza...

For example The Guardian (UK) reported y'day the following:

Gaza blockade: Iran offers escort to next aid convoy

Iran has warned that it could send Revolutionary Guard naval units to escort humanitarian aid convoys seeking to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza – a move that would certainly be challenged by Israel.

Any such Iranian involvement, raised today by an aide to the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would constitute a serious escalation of already high tensions with Israel, which accuses Tehran of seeking to build a nuclear weapon and of backing Hamas, the Islamist movement that controls Gaza.

"Iran's Revolutionary Guard naval forces are prepared to escort the peace and freedom convoys that carry humanitarian assistance for the defenceless and oppressed people of Gaza with all their strength," pledged Hojjatoleslam Ali Shirazi, Khamenei's personal representative to the guards corps.

Well, sounds like a f*cking good idea!!^^

And, as the following suggests, in about two weeks a first 'match' IRGC vs. Israeli Navy Special Forces might take place in the Mediterranean Sea near the Gaza Strip:

The Iranian Red Crescent (IRC) has decided to send two aid ships to Gaza this week and has called for volunteers to act as relief workers and accompany the vessels, the state IRNA news agency reported y'day.

"One ship will carry donations made by the people and the other will carry relief workers. The ships will be sent to Gaza by end of this week," IRC director Adibzadeh said.

And according to several Iranian sources it could be the first 'aid' convoy, trying to break Israel's Gaza blockade, 'protected' by IRGC 'volunteers'...
