Tuesday, 13 January 2009Bethlehem - An Iranian ship carrying aid to Gaza was turned back by the Israeli navy on Tuesday, Iranian radio reported.
"An Iranian ship that was carrying foodstuff and medicine was stopped by the Zionist regime's navy 20 miles off the coast of Gaza," radio reported, adding that the ship had left the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas 13 days earlier, according to Reuters.
On Monday night Iran's foreign minster said the ship had passed through the Egypt's Port Said and was en route to the Israeli-blockaded Gaza Strip.
