The announcement comes nearly one week after Israeli navy commandoes   killed nine activists onboard the Turkish flagship of the Gaza-bound   Freedom Flotilla, a convoy of nine ships carrying aid to the   impoverished Palestinians trapped inside the enclave since 2007. "In the wake of (last week's) unfair attack, it is Iran's duty to   defend the innocent people of Gaza," Mehr News Agency, quoted Ali   Shirazi, the Leader's representative in the IRGC naval forces, as saying   on Sunday. "Iran's naval forces are ready to escort the peace flotilla to Gaza   with all their powers and capabilities," Shirazi added. Shirazi went on to say that if the Leader of the Islamic Revolution   issued a decree, the IRGC naval forces would immediately dispatch escort   ships. Despite international outrage over the deadly assault, which has   triggered massive protests in Europe and the Middle East, Israeli   commandoes boarded another aid ship on Saturday. <a href="http://presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=129275&sectionid=351020101" target="_blank">Presstv</a></blockquote>
