As Israel keeps threatening the regional countries with war, Egyptian maritime sources say the Israeli navy has deployed two missile ships to the Persian Gulf.

Citing the sources, Yediot Ahronot reported Saturday that two Israeli missile ships passed through the Suez Canal en rout to the Red Sea on Thursday morning.

The sources said the ships are expected to reach the Persian Gulf within the next four days.

According to the report, Cairo adopted tight security measures to ensure the safe passage of the Israeli ships through the canal.

I don’t think I ever realized Israeli warships used the canal.

“…As Israel keeps threatening the regional countries with war,...”

What type of propaganda and stupid Arab, Mohmadin and Homo-Leninist dribble is this; what the freaks of know-nothing don’t have enough to do or just need to distract everyone from their sycophantic drama.

Me thinks a lot of countries secretly are on Israel’s side on this one.

Wow, with friends like this, who needs enemies???

I look down below the “post” button here and see in bold red letters...

“Loose lips sink ships.”

I guess Egypt wants to keep it fair, and let no one bring any surprises to the upcoming event...

Yea, the Sunni ones. But that means nothing to us, as they are the enemy also. We have no true Islamic allies.

I’m not sure there’s a way to secretly move warships through the Suez canal. If surprise was their goal, they wouldn’t put ships in the Persian Gulf.

Sure there is.

Do it at night, when everyone's asleep.

But you are right about the arab thing too.

PressTV is an iranian outfit bent on being the Al-Jezzera of the Shiite propaganda machine.

In 1935 Persia changed its country’s name to Iran at the encouragement of their Nazi friends to show alliance with the Third Reich. The farsi translation for Iran is actually Aryan. Go figure. This was the “peace loving and democratic” regime that the Shah overthrew in his attempts to bring the Persian or Fars influence back to the forefront of his country.

When I was there, virtually all of the people I worked with preferred to be referred to as Persians.

With any luck at all, when the people of Iran complete their revolution, maybe they will change the name of the country back to Persia as a gesture to distance themselves from the tyranical regime that exists today.

If they do not remove Islam from the govt, it will not matter in regards to the rest of the world. The odds of removing Islam are slim and none.

That was the reason the mullahs were hell bent on overthrowing the Shah who was trying to achieve that goal and make it a secular government. Ironically enough, it was also something that was promised to the people to get their support for the 79 revolution. Once the Aryan factions were back in power, that promise was forgotten about and is one of the biggest points that unifies the self described Persians today.
