We know for an almost certainty, more aid ships will keep coming trying to break the Israeli Gaza blockade. And eventually, one or more nations will send their own warships to stop Israel from boarding those aid ships if Israel does not end the blockade.
But God no yeech yuck, the swiftest way to ignite a hell of a shooting war is Iran being that nation who sends war ships. But sure enough, just when we thought the Gaza flotilla crisis could not get worse, it just did.

As Iran carp Diem seizes the moment, and offers to be the escorting nation.
Which could wave the worst case red flag in front of the Israeli bull, guaranteed to create mass hysteria in both Iran and Israel, and make the most rational on either side into trigger happy maniac's.
On one hand Iran does not have a conventional Navy with large capital ships to speak of, they have super fast small ships in large numbers packing anti ship missiles that pack a hell of a wallop. That could be very effective in non-violently preventing any Israeli boarding by sea or air.
In such a show done, the side that fires first may lose, but it can also really have a potential to really ignite total world wide violence.
As for me, I hope Obama gets off his dead ass, because he can't safely sit on the fence.
