Iran Gives to Gaza

It appears that only a month after Iran's surprising Nuclear deal with Brazil and Turkey, they have yet again reached out in order to build up a positive image of themselves. Iran has currently sent off a ship filled with humanitarian aid towards Gaza. The ship is said to contain only humanitarian aid and that there are no peace activists aboard. Maj. General Salami of the IRGC, (Islamic Revolution Guard Corps) is quoted saying, "protecting these ships is not on the IRGC agenda."
It appears that Iran is not concerned about the possibility of IDF soldiers boarding their ship. If I was Iran, I wouldn't be sweating too much either. The last thing Israel needs on its plate is yet another war with her neighbors. Something that Israel has a lot of field experience in. Iran also stated that it planned on sending two more ships with humanitarian aid later next week.
