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>
