So, What WILL Happen To The Iranian 'Aid' Ship Headed To Gaza?


It's getting close, folks...the infamous "humanitarian aid" ship that set sail from Iran to Gaza is getting awfully close and this could end up being quite interesting.

Here's a bit of an update taken off the daily notes from Iran's Press TV:


An Iranian ship carrying humanitarian aid for Palestinians is scheduled to arrive at the port of Gaza in the coming days, a report says. The ship, which carries medicine and foods, has passed through the Suez Canal and awaits for legal permissions to enter Gaza, IRIB reported. According to the report, it is likely that the ship will dock at the port of Gaza on Saturday.

Now, many of us have seen the dozens and dozens of truckloads of humanitarian aid that has arrived in Gaza through Israel and in fact, we just saw the three hour ceasefire enabled so more Gazans could get to the aid. But by and large, that humanitarian is sitting there stacked up like cordwood. And yet, Iran has this "need" to send this humanitarian aid.

We've said all along this reeked to high heaven and now that this ship is through the Suez Canal, it is about to reach that point where it either is allowed to dock in Gaza, turns around because it doesn't receive permission to dock, docks in another location like Lebanon or is sunk by the Israeli navy. I prefer the latter choice.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out by I cannot imagine in my wildest dreams that this ship would be allowed to dock in Gaza...not just now but EVER. So, one must try and dig into the evil minds of the mullahs in Iran and consider this...let's just say that Iran wanted to get a good deal of new, state-of-the-art weaponry to Hezbollah...not Hamas, but Hezbollah...and didn't feel there was time to haul it there across Asia and into the Middle East - if they know the "aid" ship would be denied access in Gaza, perhaps it wouldn't raise any eyebrows if it had to veer north to Lebanon...and then, it would be quietly unloaded into the hands of Hezbollah.

Okay, perhaps I've been reading too many counter-intelligence reports .....haha.


'Iran aid ship nearing Gaza'

An Iranian ship carrying humanitarian aid for Palestinians is scheduled to arrive at the port of Gaza in the coming days, a report says. The ship, which carries medicine and foods, has passed through the Suez Canal and awaits for legal permissions to enter Gaza, IRIB reported. According to the report, it is likely that the ship will dock at the port of Gaza on Saturday. The Gaza strip has been gripped by a humanitarian crisis since it came under massive Israeli fire on December 27. Gaza residents are suffering from a shortage of fuel, medicine, food and water. Hospitals are also running out of fuel required for the operation of generators that provide power supply to health facilities. According to of operations for the ICRC Pierre Kraehenbuehl, the situation of Gaza civilians is "extreme and traumatic". Since the start of the Israeli attacks, at least 763 Palestinians have been killed and thousands are reported wounded.
