#4 Sounds like the Shaheed will live up to it's name.

(Isn't that the name for suicide bombers?)

One really has to wonder what is on board that ship that they are expending so much to prevent it even from being searched.

#11 The pro-KSA Yemeni Govt-in-exile is officially blaming Iran for any international or military incident that occurs as related to their aid ship.

* MEMRI TV > RETIRED EGYPTIAN GENERAL MOCKS IRANIAN ARMY [Navy]: "WE WILL SINK THEIR SHIPS IFF THEY COME NEAR", to Egypt.

* FARSNEWS > IRANIAN WARSHIP [ISN "Alborz"] MISSLE SYSTEM LOCKS ON INVADING TARGET [Mystery HS Speedboat?] IN GULF OF ADEN, allegedly in attempt to attack their ship.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > IRANIAN WARSHIPS SHOO AWAY US, FRENCH MILITARY FORCES [Aircraft, Helos, Naval] IN GULF OF ADEN.

VERSUS

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > IRANIAN SHIP HEADED FOR YEMEN WID CREW OF 14 IS CAPTURED BY SOMALI PIRATES AND HANDED OVER TO AL-SHABAAB | AL-SHABAAB KIDNAPS 14 IRANIAN FISHERMEN STRANDED IN SOMALIA | THE GUARDIAN.UK.

Looks like the IRGC Quds Force + Hezbollah have a new battlefield = strategic theater on the other side of Yemen = SSSSHHHHH ....PCCCCCCCC entrance to the Red Sea + Suez Canal???
