All Eyes on the Canal

[Roamy]

With Iranian warships passing through the canal it is going to be very interesting to see if Israel pops them or not. Also what input will come from the free western countries.

If Israel blockades with the Iranians try to come through?

Just a matter of time!!

If either side acts like children then there is nothing anyone can do. It's time Israel realizes that it, itself has been it's own worst enemy. Iran can also hold the same dubious honor.

As you were.

Plans by two Iranian warships to pass
through the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean have been cancelled, says an
Egyptian official.


The Suez Canal Authority was "informed today about the cancellation of two
scheduled trips of two Iranian warships and no new date was set to cross the
Suez", an Egyptian canal official, who declined to be named, told Reuters news
agency.

I don't see it as an issue? Egypt is still in charge of the canal aren't they?

I don't think the Egyptian army will stand for any incursion now any more than before they were in charge!

[markabilly]

so what were these ships going to do?? visit Eki??

With the state of the middle east we probably do not need to see a couple of sinking ships in the Med. The best thing now is for Egypt to deny passage. Then we can continue to the protests and the shaping of the middle east.

Hell EKI is probably aboard one of them - He thought is was a cruise ship

Well, you can all rest assured that the Oz Navy will not be involved - all our ships are non-operational. :

Well you jest but the UK is busy doing the same thing, apparently not needed any more. And yet we've seen how quickly trouble can flare up. The current disruption could die down quickly or we could end up in a World War, point is we just don't know.

I heard you had a fancy new nuclear submarine, surely you can use that...
