Sea Battle Fear As Iran Sends Flotilla to Gaza 13 Jun 2010 Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has vowed to breach Israel's blockade of Gaza, as two aid ships and a military escort prepare to set sail. In a provocative  move the ­Iranian Red Crescent was this weekend due to send two vessels packed with food and medical aid and 70 relief workers. A third ship, carrying an operating theatre, could follow. President Ahmadinejad raised the spectre of a sea battle as he warned the ships would be carrying an escort of "volunteer marines" ready to "teach Israelis a lesson". [The 'provocative move' was the establishment of the blockade of Gaza by Israel.]
