Game on. This was predictable and in part an effort to spread Israeli forces. I think Iran will try to pit the street against the Egyptian military while the US exerts whatever leverage it has.
This has the potential for conflict and the Iranian fleet plans to coordinate its activities with the provocations designed for Sept 20 protests. We see the two arms reaching far and wide from IRG snipers in Syria to their fleet moving into the Red Sea.
What action will the US take? Perhaps an Iranian sub will disappear. http://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/30/syria-and-irans-power-calculus/ And I hardly think Iran is giving up Hamas or Assad.
