To some Iranians, the Turkish flotilla shouldn’t be interpreted as an attack on the Israeli siege of Gaza, but first and foremost as an assault against their influence in Gaza.

Iran’s efforts to send its own flotilla are testimony to that.

Immediate global anti Israel demonstrations – except in Tehran

The takeover of the Turkish-flagged Mavi Marmaris by Israeli commandos led to demonstrations in numerous places around the world. People in  Baku, Istanbul, and as far away as Edmonton, Canada, marched on the streets to voice their opposition to Israel’s actions.

However, in Tehran and in other big cities in Iran, the streets have been eerily quiet.

Just what is going on? Has Ayatollah Khamenei become shy ?
