and this is the kind of situation that concerns me greatly. Any misjudgment by any of the parties could proof to be irreversable and fatal.

"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."

Traditionally these guys are big talkers and hope that is the case here.

Cannot find much on this in the american media and hope it is simply a case of making a big deal of nothing by the UK, but this is how the big things start !

I think Iran's direct involvement in this will be considered an act of war by Israel. Let's hope this does not happen.
Iran's President is on record as calling for the eradication of the Israeli State, and their armed forces in proximity to Israel will be a inestimable provocation.
Do not think for a moment that Iran does not know this.

John Bolton, the former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., has written an op-ed on the President's response to this crisis and his piling on of Israel. This can only embolden the enemies of Israel and increase the danger. This President is either duplicitous or naive when it comes to true leadership and loyalty to our allies.

given a signal to lay off the subject. Because the natural flow of things has seemed to stop....all nations have said their piece about what has happened or happening. Except the USA...once again laying back and waiting to see wher it goes before making a commitment.

Any doubt about Obama's mode of not operating. He is not a leader, nor is he a follower and he doesn't have the sense to get out of the way.
