Iran warns Israel of retaliation if its Gaza-bound aid ship is attacked

GREETINGS,

 I WILL QUOTE MESSENGER ELIJAH MUHAMMAD BEFORE  I GO ANY FURTHER: TAKEN FROM, “THE FALL OF AMERICA,” CHAPTER 40 pgs.171,172

  ” America is falling. She is now losing the power and authority that she was enjoying in foreign lands. Her fall is very visible. Wherever her authority has been exercised the people are now crying out in one voice, “Leave us, leave us; American’s go home to America.” The citizens of other countries are telling the American citizens, “Leave us.” America no longer has friends.

 America and England deposited their little brother, Israel, on foreign soil, Palestine, which is Arab land. They deprived the Arabs of their own land and sent them into exile. This injustice against the Arabs is now costing America the power and authority that she once exercised in the East. She is on her way out of the Near East. This means bloodshed and plenty of it.

 In the Near East, there stand navies which are neither American nor British…they are there to drive America out. The skies over there are beginning to thicken with foreign planes, carrying deadly weapons, guns and bombs. They will not be satisfied as long as Israel is in Palestine. The boil has come to a bursting point. We are in a troubled world. We are in a world that is now erupting.”….NOW LET US LOOK AT THESE SELF FULFILLING WORDS COME INTO BEING.

Manama: Iran has warned that it will retaliate if the aid ship it plans to send to Gaza next week is attacked by Israel, its ambassador to Bahrain has said.

The warning came as senior Israeli Cabinet ministers prepared to meet on Wednesday to vote on limiting restrictions on Gaza to a small list of goods that Israel says militants could use in their battle against the Jewish state.

However, they said that even those goods, such as steel and cement, would be allowed into Gaza to some extent in coordination with the United Nations.

Meanwhile, Iran’s ambassador to Bahrain assured that a new aid ship heading to Gaza “will carry clothes and food supplies, but not weapons. There will be representatives from the Iranian Red Crescent, but no military force or members of the Revolution Guards”.

“There should be no impediment to the vessel reaching Gaza. Should the Zionists stupidly decide to attack the ship, Iran will respond with a bigger strike because moves by the Zionists against Iran are red lines for Tehran,” Hussain Amir Abdullahyan told reporters in Manama.

The ambassador said that a surprise move by Israel is nothing new.

“Just look at the way they acted against the ship that was carrying Westerners and Americans,” he said, referring to Israel’s lethal attack last month on the Mavi Marmara, a Gaza-bound Turkish-flagged ship carrying activists and humanitarian aid to besieged Palestinians. Nine people, including one Turkish-American, were killed in the raid.

Iran’s media agencies this week reported that an Iranian ship carrying food and medical supplies will head to Gaza.

“This ship will pass through waters of Oman, Yemen and Egypt before it reaches Gaza. The ship contains only humanitarian aid and there are no peace activists on board,” the agencies said.

On Monday, Hossein Salami, the deputy commander of the Revolution Guards, said in Tehran that they had “no plan to escort humanitarian aid ships to Gaza”, reversing a statement made by an official from the Revolution Guards on June 6 that the Navy was “totally prepared to escort Gaza-bound humanitarian aid ships to protect them against possible Israeli attacks”.

However, Mark Regev, a spokesman for the Israeli prime minister’s office, said that Iran had ulterior motives.

“Iran has an interest in bolstering the Hamas government … obviously we are trying to prevent them from sending weapons to Hamas,” he told the pan-Arab TV station Al Jazeera…… MORE HERE
