As soon as this “flotilla” enters Bahrainian waters, sink it. All of it. This is an invasion, pure and simple, and if the Iranians want to play, start to play their game. Do NOT let them land. Dead martyrs are a lot easier to deal with than live terrorists. Iran also does not have the resources or the naval forces to attack Bahrain, especially with the US Fifth Fleet there. Nope, a flotilla like this would be a naked act of agression and could be easily stopped. I’m sure the Saudis wouldn’t mind the help, either. There is a Shia/Sunni showdown coming and the more we can do to keep these people apart, the better the chances for some form of stability in that area, even if it is a slight one.
The difference between this “flotilla” and the one that Israel intercepted should be the Iranian one has to be in Bahrainian waters. Once that happens, Bahrain has the right to do just about anything it wants to stop it. Cut this off now, or else the Iranians will take advantage of the situation and flood Bahrain with terrorists to topple the regime there, further destabilizing the region.
