The Egyptian authorities allowed the passage of two Iranian warships through the Gulf of Suez, according to Al-Akhram Egyptian newspaper.

“It’s not a simple provocation, as some Israelis believe. This is a symbolic step, seeking to demonstrate Tehran’s authority in Middle East. The gesture aims to signal U.S., EU and Israel about their inability to prevent Iranian ships’ course through the Gulf of Suez. Before, they had Mubarak to ask for a “favor”; but not now, that a new era has started,” IzRus portal deputy editor-in-chief Alexander Goldenshtein commented on a situation in a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
