IC: The Iranis are able to sabotage Israeli nuclear sites in order to prevent the Samson Option from being executed. Gaza and the Israeli West Coast falls under full Iranian control and the troops start travelling inland to take over the West Bank. They are careful to make sure that no infrastructure is destroyed, though realistically, there is some damage given the fact a war is occurring.
OOC: Got it
IC: After a refusal to our ultimatum, the 3rd Commando Brigade, using its helicopters, lands in the city of Gaza, covered by the 5th Attack Squadron (4 Harriers with High Explosive Bombs) and the 9th Air Superiority Squadron (6 Eurofighter Typhoons with AAM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9 Sidewinder Anti air missiles)
Meanwhile, the First Armored Brigade (30 Challenger 2) and the 2nd Infantry Division (15000 troops) land at El Alamien and are ordered to hold their position. They are covered by the 3rd Fighter Squadron( 4 Tornado and 2 Eurofighter Typhoons) and the 6th Strike Squadron (Same as 5th Attack Squadron)
Messages about the interventions are sent to Shiraz. The Parliament, hearing about this, release an official statement condemning the UK.
Though they tried to let as little information as possible through, Gazan journalists televised the happenings to the world.
In Gaza, guerrilla fighters (many of whom are members of the remnants of Hamas) start fighting against both the British and the Iranians.
In both Gaza and Egypt, soldiers set up anti-air guns on top of buildings and start shooting British planes.
In Egypt, ships start blockading El Alamein. Infantrymen travel inland to launch surprise attacks on South El Alamein while soldiers on the coast start building makeshift fortifications just East of El Alamein to prevent British soldiers from entering the Nile Delta, where much of Egypt's population lives. The Nile Delta and the rest of the North Egyptian coast is fortified by the soldiers already there to prevent the British soldiers in El Alamein from spreading. El Alamein is thus surrounded by Iranian soldiers. A similar process occurs in Israel, where the West Coast is being secured by Iranian soldiers.
Rather than fighting the UK in Gaza, Iran surrounds Gaza City so British troops can not spread from the city. They feel that the guerrillas should be sufficient to stop the UK in Gaza (also, the guerrillas would attack the Iranian soldiers, so it would be best to wait until either the British or the guerrillas give up).

On the Prime Ministers mind is also the Iranian invasion of Egypt. For the time being thought he does not bring it up. As for right now PM Pearson and President Ahmed are somewhat strangers but are very friendly with each other.
Although this situation almost reminds him of the Suez Crisis of 1956, where Canada had a lot of involvement with it, not for both sides on a military standpoint, but for it's own side. Peacekeeping.
We might have a Suez Crisis 2.0 coming up and Independent Canada might be at the forefront again...
OCC: Congratulations! We have reached our 100th post. Go Canada Go!
OOC: Okay now this is epic.
IC: The President agrees with PM Pearson.
An Iranian diplomat who is travelling with him comes up to him and asks for his time.
"What is it, Amir?" the President asks.
"Mr. President, Egypt and Gaza are being invaded."
