So now it is a P.R. trap for the U.S.A. too?

We will have to send one of the carrier groups over to make sure that neither Turkey or Iran follow through on their threats to escort ships through the Israeli blockade. We would be there more to prevent a shooting war between any of three than to unconditionally back Israel’s blockade policy (even though we do, so far at least).

I guess now we will be the bad guys if this happens? Even though we are only trying to prevent open warfare between Iran, Turkey, and Israel? (Iran has submarines too btw, could get rather dicey).
