JERUSALEM (AFP) – Iran is sending two warships into the Mediterranean Sea, Israel's foreign minister said Wednesday, labelling the act a "provocation" the Jewish state cannot ignore for long.

"Tonight two Iranian warships are supposed to cross the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean Sea on their way to Syria," Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said, speaking at a conference of American Jewish leaders in Jerusalem.

Lieberman said Iranian warships cruising past Israel's coast was something that had not occurred for many years and was a "provocation that proves the self confidence and cheek of the Iranians is growing from day-to-day."

"To my sorrow the international community is not dealing with these repeated Iranian provocations," the hardline minister said, referring to a recent visit by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the Lebanese border with Israel.

"The international community has to understand that Israel cannot ignore these provocations for eternity," Lieberman said.

Israel reportedly sent one of its submarines through the Suez in 2009 to take part in Red Sea military exercises that were interpreted as a warning to Iran.

Abalone Season in Mediterranean Sea!

Another idiotic act by the Regime to distract the uneducated and the unwashed, and another opportunity for the Israeli right wing to cry wolf!

No military leader with half a brain would send 2 water dingies without air support into “enemy” territory! And the Egyptian military, with all its ties to Pentagon and Israeli military would have not allowed them to pass through Suez Canal if they have perceived them as a threat.

This is just another distraction by the Regime to show its supporters that it is in control.

The “Arab Street” has spoken loud and clear and they have sided with the brave Iranian youth and opposition.

The Regime is in survival mode right now.

that flag is NOT the Iranian flag. It is the flag of the occupiers of Iran.  Get that through your thick truban.

And, unpatriotic are people like you who have sold out your heritage and identity to a religon whose inventors and prime worshipers hate your guts.

'US sends warships, troops to Egypt'

The US is sending warships, including one with 800 troops, and other military assets to Egypt as the revolution in the North African country gains momentum.

Bahrain: US Naval Base or

Bahrain: US Naval Base or Iranian Asset?

Posted on 02/16/2011 by Juan

What is at stake for Americans in the Bahrain unrest?

1. Bahrain is a major center for the refining of crude petroleum, refining some 270,000 barrels a day. This amount is not large, but given tight petroleum supplies and a price of over $100 a barrel for Brent Crude, an outage there would certainly put up world prices.

2. Bahrain hosts a naval base for the US Fifth Fleet, important to the US security architecture for the Persian Gulf (the Arabs say Arabian Gulf). Nearly 2/3s of the world’s proven petroleum reserves and 45% of the world’s natural gas reserves are in the Gulf region.

No!

ISALMIC REPUBLIC OF DEATH DESPERATELY SEEKING WAR

 No! That may be the motto for some unpatriotic or cloaked Zionists but the reality is that Iran now can send its navy through the Suez canal proudly after a very long time waving Iranian flag at the door step of the most rascist Apparthied regime existing today.

The message to the Zio-fascists is very clear "Shape up or ship out of the Middle East".

Looking forward to another proud moment in Iranian history next Tuesday!

Javid Iran !!!!!!!!!
