62. Really?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.06.10)
Interfering with a legal blockade is an act of war. Is Iran really, truly that stupid? For their sake, I hope not.
63. These empty vessels make a lot of noise.
The 11th Man ,   London   (06.06.10)
64. Make My Day!
Roy ,   USA   (06.06.10)
What an excellent way for Iran to get nuked back to the Stone Age. Go ahead! Make Israel's day!
65. Iran is under estimating Israel potential.
Albert Pinto ,   Miami,USA   (06.06.10)
Iran is playing with fire, always remember short man..Dog that Barks never bites. Check the History of Israel war of 1948 & 1967 more than 6 countries attacked Israel still they won the war. G*d is with them. In 1981 destroyed Iraqi reactor in flick of seconds even Iraq was not aware of this strike. Be careful in all this game Israel is very quite do not underestimate them. Mind your Tongue short man you will not know how will it come back to your innocent people following your foolish advice.
66.  You just talk but you do not have stomach
E ,M Jordan is Pales ,   S,F   (06.06.10)
Iran is supper power poppet every thing they have said is bluff.
67. A Iranian Naval escort?
Charles ,   Los Angeles   (06.06.10)
The empty threat by Iran is simply a tactical ploy to provoke belligerent statements from Israel, so as to continue to involve world attention to the damaging fiasco committed by Israel. The Israeli government, of course, will take the bail. Israel's enemies are playing them like a fiddle.
68. We are waiting for the long-promised invasion. So are the f
David ,   Montreal, CANADA   (06.06.10)
69. #56 Great Persia is long gone
Cynthia ,   USA   (06.06.10)
Iran is occupied by gangsters who can only rule by repression and cruelty. You would be hard pressed to list Iran's accomplishments.
70. #56 Tea man...
Rich in Boston ,   Boston USA   (06.06.10)
No tea man I am laughing. You're a funny, funny little man.
71. # 13, lucky number..
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (06.06.10)
I do not know what is well known to you, but to me, it is well known, that on 5 ships there were useful idiots (and the raid on these ships took no casualties), while the 6th ship was full of terrorists waiting for a collision, for which they were paid and which they made.
72. In the words of George W. Bush
Essie HaKohane ,   Florida, USA   (06.06.10)
"Bring It on!!"
73. to # 65
Murat ,   Turkey   (06.06.10)

74. hassan nasrallah
lebanese american ,   U S A   (06.07.10)

75. To 13 - I think you mean Balestine
Israeli ,   Haifa   (06.07.10)
To anyone that does not know - they can't even pronounce the letter 'P' which supposed to be a part of their so-called land.
76. It would be a wonderful political windfall for Israel
redbourn ,   Arad, Israel   (06.07.10)
The initial result would of course be sunken Iranian vessels. Israel would then declare a state of war as existing between Iran and Israel after which Israel would attack Iran's nuclear facilities without the ensuing political fallout that would occur if Israel simply attacked the facilities.
77. Please, just do it... Remember Ron Arad...
Ariel   (06.07.10)
We should capture any Iranian or lebanese citizen, put survivors in isolation, and not release him until Ron Arad returns to us. The ships should be then used by the Israeli Navy.
78. Civilians? NAY! simply call them plaintly "ACCOMPLICE"!
ruth ,   Singapore   (06.07.10)
Intentional offenders! Willing Accomplice! Naive Martyrs! i don't call a silly naive mum carried her barely one-year old baby on e previous ship "civilians"! WHY MUST IT BE GAZA? Try North Korea, try China? try to bring their Aids ship to China to free hungry chinese, they be at the sea bed at no time. The Chinese don't even bother to parachute her precious soldiers down to the deck, just one clean torpedo will do for them and trust the silly UN to chide the Chinese or suggest any investigating team. What the North Korea sinking the south Korea ship? Investigating team? Is all because JEWS ARE EASY TARGETs! OH, SURPRISE THE ARAB DIDN'T BLAME IT ON THE JEWS FOR THE OIL LEAK, BLAME IT ON THE JEWS FOR THE ICELAND ASH CLOUD..... ... sadness!
79. #68 So far for 9 years its israel which has been all talk.
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (06.07.10)
iran on the other hand has established a huge network around israel for some time now. And is also expanding it.
80. And Obama dithers....
Malone ,   Hfx   (06.07.10)
...wouldn't want to actually have to make a decision other than to "condemn" it.
81. Thanks, Iran can be Israel nuclear test site.
Mickey   (06.07.10)
make sure the country is converted to Itran.
82. Laughable
(06.07.10)
These are just empty words from iran. There is no way that they are going to send a battleship. They are inferior with respect to the IDF. Sending a battleship would be an easy hit. They are just using the current crisis as an oppurtunity for some "big man talk".
83. # 73 Murat
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (06.07.10)
Old dog Turkey has no teeth to bite,beside,Turkey is now overdosed with Islamic opium,pushed by theyr new prophet ,Sultan Erdogan the first.
84. Iran
raz barr ,   haifa israel   (06.07.10)
This will for sure mean war. I would say a nuclear strike on Iran would be an appropriate response for such an action. Say go ahead an try...
85. #32: You're All Wet
emanon ,   USA   (06.07.10)
International Water means it does not belong to any country; that's why it is "international". You are partially correct, though in that Iran would do this just so they could haver an excuse to attack Israel exercising its right to prevent war material into it's true national waters. In a previous post about the first terrorist flotilla, someone much better versed than I am in maritime law cited chapter and verse of the international maritime law that puts Israel in the right to board these ships.
86. Israel
David ,   USA, exile   (06.07.10)
It is time to act. Not another minute should go by. Hit Iran, Damascus, Istanbul, Ankara, Gaza and Southern Lebanon all at once immediately and with everything you've got. Make Damascus a ruinous heap and turn Iran into a camel parkinglot.
87. PAY ATTENTION TO #31 AND #35...
SETTHERECORDSTRAIGHT   (06.07.10)
THEY ARE RIGHT. ON. TARGET!
88. Maybe the Ape man pumps up a rubber
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (06.07.10)
boat... by the way, I do not believe, that he can swim... I believe he can only grunt...
89. iran threats,iran out for war take heed
koizumu ,   london uk   (06.07.10)
The signs are there,its time for America,Europe and the rest of the world to take actions against hamas,hizbullah and all terrorist states like Iran,if they want peace in the middle east.Another point we want Gilad Shallit to be release immediately and all rocket attacks on ISRAEL to stop completely.These countries must pressure hamas and hisbullah to disband completely.Then there can have a comprehensive peace.but this recent statement made by iran will lead to war.look out.
90. threats of war by iran
koizumu ,   london uk   (06.07.10)
the world should take heed that this statement made by Iran to send their naval forces to escort ships into GAZA would be a mistake,its an indirect threat of war.Its iran way of supporting hamas terrorists.ISRAEL always try to live at peace and security but their are muslim terrorists and muslim states hell bent on the disctruction of ISRAEL and the world cannot see whats happening.there are also questions on hundreds of rcoket attacks on ISRAEL and the freedom of GILAD SHALLIT.Is the world so blinded to see?OK,if Iran want to send its navy into Gaza then i know for show that ISREAL will have to act accordingly.IF Iran wants peace it must stop enhancing uranium for a bomb,it will pressure hamas and hisbullah to stop their rockets attack on ISRAEL encourage peace and economic development in the middle east so that the people can benefit.But this is highly onlikely because the political system is geared up for war,and as a result IRAN will sign its own death warrant.MY BIBEL which is true and correct says there will be a great distruction of IRAN and its other muslim allies,a destruction like never scene before,it must happen because GOD will want the world to know who they are comming up against,its not simple the nation of ISRAEL-but the armies of the LIVING GOD.Its time for people to take heed and turn to the LORD the CREATOR of heaven and earth,the GOD of ISRAEL,ABRAHAM,ISSAC AND JACOB.Because he wouldnt slumber nor sleep if the world continually attack ISRAEL.HE who have ears to hear let him hear,he who have eyes to see let him see,before GOD JUDGE AND MEN DIES.
