(Reuters) - Two Iranian naval ships have sailed through Egypt's Suez Canal into the Mediterranean, in a move likely to be keenly watched by Israel.

"Two Iranian ships crossed through the Suez Canal (on Thursday) following permission from the Egyptian armed forces," a source in the canal authority said Friday.

The destroyer and a supply ship could be on their way to the Syrian coast, the source added. Iran and Syria agreed to cooperate on naval training a year ago, and Tehran has no naval agreement with any other country in the region.

Two Iranian warships sailed along the strategic waterway on February 17 last year, in a move that Israel called a "provocation."

Either going to rescue Assad or they are positioning to attack Israel.

Wonder if the Egyptians checked the manifests?

Cruise missiles with gas could do great damage.

We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
No we didn’t light it
But we tried to fight it

We're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little more now if we can and the rest next quarter.

Prediction: One of these times they go ahead will “escort” Palestinian arms smugglers headed from Turkey to Gaza. When the IDF intervenes, it will be Iran's excuse for war.

Bring it on. Israel is ready to deal with Iran.
They don’t want to but if the world is not going to come to Israel’s aid then Israel will do it alone.

AM ISRAEL CHAI! the PEOPLE OF ISRAEL LIVES!

There is bound to be a Face to Face meeting between Benjamin Netanyahu and Obama the first week of March as the AIPAC policy conference will be in Washington DC on March 3-6. You can bet that every pro Israel Congressman and Congresswomen and Senators will be in attendance as the conference is normally a Who’s Who in Washington. AIPAC being a Bipartisan group will also have invited Obama to speak. Will Obama show up to AIPAC? Or will he snub AIPAC I guess we know he will show.

G-D speed to Israel.

The Iranian Navy vessels have now left Syria and transited through the Suez Canal.
