The fallout over the deadly Gaza flotilla confrontation is threatening to disrupt efforts for another round of UN sanctions against Iran and could sour US-Turkey relations.

A previously scheduled meeting between US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Tuesday was slated to focus on Iran sanctions. But it was instead overshadowed by the death of at least four Turkish citizens at the hands of the IDF when its raid designed to keep a ship bearing a Turkish flag from breaking the Gaza blockade turned bloody.
