| Iranian Basiji students head to Bahrain on their own flotilla |
| 2011-04-22 |
| Two hundred Iranian pro-regime students, members of the Basiji militia, stationed in the gulf city of Bushehr have sailed to Bahrain on their own flotilla to join the Bahraini Shiite protesters. In an interview with the Iranian Student’s News Agency, Abbas Aalizadeh, public relations spokesperson for the so-called students claimed that this was ‘a spontaneous act on the part of the students and that they were not acting as anyone’s proxy and the ships were privately owned.’ Aalizadeh added: “We are determined and we will stay on our path to see the mission through.” |

| #6 The flotilla was sadly lost due to rough seas in the Persian Gulf. And torpedoes. |

| #3 Just yesterday, Iranian student surrounded the Saudi mission in Tehran, which has been under low level assault for some time. But will they try the same stunt? Unless there is going to be a war between the two, for them to seize their embassy will mean the end of Hajj for Iranians. |

| #2 This is an echo of the Iranian students who took over the US embassy in 1979. |

| #1 I truly hope the Saudis pick them up en route, then do a "deep process" of them in Saudi Arabia before returning them to Iran. This includes lots of photographs, fingerprints, DNA samples, shaved heads, cavity searches, family notifications, Red Crescent notifications, criminal background checks, and more cavity searches. A real media circus, with broadcasts to Iran. Then return them wearing pink paper pajamas with open heeled fuzzy bunny slippers. |
