Two Iranian ships intended to head for Hamas-controlled Gaza are
waiting for their government's approval to challenge Israel on the
high seas, escorted by “volunteer marines” that Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wants to send “to teach Israelis a lesson.”

An Iranian Red Crescent official said the two ships are waiting for
the Iranian foreign ministry to give the green light for launching,
according to the French news service AFP, quoting the Iranian Mehr
news service. The Red Crescent said a third ship probably would join
the fleet.
