I think the more significant bit of news in that article is that people high up in the UN are acknowledging that the blockade is illegal.

OH HO HO HO. Now this is where it's getting interesting but fucking scary.

[Emasher]

Indeed. I can't see the US siding with Gaza if Iran is involved militarily against Israel. A loose analogy might be that one South Park episode where they're arguing about changing the town flag, when the KKK shows up to support one side.

This can only end well!

So if this turns into something serious, not that it isn't already, does that mean WW3 or am I just being paranoid?

Well if their allies don't have the common sense to let them duke it out themselves, should be fine.

 

But with the highly likely Rothschild involvement in lobbying in the USA and Russia's interest in Iran, this could turn out awfully.

 

I think Iran would be stupid to do this to be honest, Israel and the US have been looking for reasons to wage war on this new nuclear state for a while now and this will just be suicide, as I very much doubt the Israeli Navy will just idly stand by whilst they escort aid into their waters, they'l just bomb the shit out of their inferior navy.

If someone's going to use their navy to escort the aid ships, it absolutely has to be a NATO country. Israel isn't stupid enough to attack a NATO ship I'm sure.
