Iran backs down!

All you have to do is stand up to them...
Iran has backed down for the second time in two weeks on the attempt to launch two ships to Gaza, two days after the United States and Israel sent a dozen warships through the Suez Canal and towards a possible confrontation.

The American government also had called on Egypt not to allow the Iranian ships to enter the Suez Canal.

Iranian Red Crescent youth wing director Mohammed Javad Jafarian said “no definite” date has been set for departure of the ships to Hamas-controlled Gaza. Last week, Iran backed down from its threat to send “voluntary” marines for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to board the boats and defend them against any attempt by Israel to intercept them enrooted to Gaza.

Egypt on Saturday allowed 11 U.S. warships, led by the aircraft carrier USS Truman, and one Israeli ship to pass through the Suez Canal after it closed it to all other boats to ensure a safe and quiet passage for the armada.

It was the largest fleet of warships to sail through the Suez Canal in years, prompting speculation that they were preparing to challenge any Iranian attempt to reach Gaza. The maneuvers also may serve as a warning to Iran if not does cooperate with U.N. officials trying to inspect the Islamic Republic’s nuclear development program.

What a load of propaganda rubbish.

The US wants more war in the Middle East. Israel wants more war in the Middle East. It is a way of life for both countries when it comes to getting along with the rest of the world - they don't want to get along with anyone who does not accept their supremacy.

No-one else I know of wants more war in the Middle East, except maybe you and other armchair political 'experts'. Seen from Europe which was wrecked by two World Wars, the policy of US and Israeli perpetual war-mongering is loathsome.

No facts here...just ridiculous statements. No evidence, no nothing...and just hiding behind the anonymous label.
