- Description
The cartoon shows President Ahmadinejad of Iran dancing gleefully and holding a newspaper that reads 'Iran offers to escort convoys into Gaza'. He says it is 'only because I was saddened by the recent flotilla massacre!!' Iran has warned that it could send Revolutionary Guard naval units to escort humanitarian aid convoys seeking to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza - a move that would certainly be challenged by Israel. Any such Iranian involvement, raised today by an aide to the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would constitute a serious escalation of already high tensions with Israel, which accuses Tehran of seeking to build a nuclear weapon and of backing Hamas, the Islamist movement that controls Gaza. Iran continues to exploit the "freedom flotilla" affair to lambast Israel for its 'brazen and merciless treatment of Muslims, especially the oppressed Palestinian people.'
