Iran Cancels Suez Canal warship move

Ships near the Saudi Red Sea port of Jeddah

BBC: Plans by two Iranian warships to pass through the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean have been cancelled, says an Egyptian official. The unnamed official was reported as saying the plans had been withdrawn, without giving a reason. He said the ships were near the Saudi Red Sea port of Jeddah. Israel had reacted angrily to the plans, with Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman warning that it could not "forever ignore these provocations". He said the vessels were planning on sailing to Syria - an arch Israeli opponent in the region - though this has not been confirmed by Iranian authorities. 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. >>>

The Israeli equation

by Cost-of-Progress on

is very peculiar.

Why don't the islamists go bang on Russia's door for devestating their Chechen muslim bro's?

What did the islamists do when the Serbs were slautering their muslim bro's in the 90's by the thousands?

Do the islamists endorse what the islamists are doing in Darfour?

Who the flock are you people kidding?

I could careless about Israel, but when the Islamist give millions of Iran's money to the Pals and the terrorist Hamas and Hezbollah - money that is needed inside Iran - it really makes no sense.

What did the bleeding heart islamists do for Chechens and Albanian muslims?

Selling arms to desperate

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on


Selling arms to desperate Iran just as they sold to Saddam was so profitable that even the so called smart Jews couldn't resist. It was about profit and getting both sides to kill more of each others, not helping Iran.  You don't really believe what you write, do you?

The Israeli did not do it just for money. Yes they did way overcharge Iran. But their main reason was in their own words: "We were not going to sit back and let Iran fall". They knew that Saddam was the bigger enemy. So they wisely sided with Iran. This made USA not too happy. I agree with one of your points: They wanted Iran and Iraq to destroy each other; they did not want a winner. They wanted both sides to lose. Yes see I am not as blind as you may think. I know what is going on.

Now to my points this proves them:

  • Israel and America are not the same. They have different policies. Frankly the Israeli are smarter and wiser than America.
  • Iran and Israel are natural allies. Sooner we accept this the better.

Yes, even mullaas understood that, but had no choice. between being invaded and surrendering to Saddam and buying arms, that was the wiser choice.

One can argue that based on your logic, you should hate Israel for helping IRI, if in fact it was help, but you don't because help had nothing to do with it as i explained.

Then, why is that you give a ...... about The Abbas part of Palestinians?

I don't.

Why is that you give a ....... about west who enforced and supported the war on Iran and even Israel for that matter. They all helped
Saddam.

I criticized the West very harshly for supporting Saddam. Specially USA for sinking Iranian ships and shooting down Iranian passenger plane. And Germany for selling poison gas to Saddam.

Israel actually supported Iran. I praised them for it. More proof that Israel and America are not always in lock steps. Believe me even Mollahs are smart enough to accept help when needed.

The cancellation must have been from the Egyptians side. They have the right to do so, if they wish.  A year from now things will be very different.

 

Hamsadeh Ghadimi,

Last time people used regular ships to spread peace and love they were slaughtered by none other than the peace loving Israelis.  Now, countries have decided to be safe rather than sorry.  You see, Israel Jayeh narideh nazashteh.  No matter how you all try to defend, it just doesn't work.

You wrote,   Why should we care what they do to Palestinians. Did the Palestinians not join Saddam in war against Iran? That was it for me. I stopped giving a *** about them. 

Then, why is that you give a ...... about The Abbas part of Palestinians? Why is that you give a ....... about west who enforced and supported the war on Iran and even Israel for that matter. They all helped Saddam. You seem to only have problem with the ones who defend themselves. What about Lebanon. Did they also helped Saddam.  If you hate Palestinians who supported Saddam, I wonder how you feel about Iraqis?  You must be very happy about what US has done to Iraqis.  I wonder where humanity is in your beliefs toward others or you just feel that when it comes to the criminal state of Israel and Of course, IRI is giving you reasons to try and justify them.  Just as many in oppositions by taking side with west and Israel give reasons to IRI to justify their actions.

I thank you for the compliment. I know my limits. I do not use vulgarity. I do criticize but I keep the language clean and remain within the rules.

the point is Israel has been Bullying middle east for a long time ....... and people in that region are saying enough is enough ..... it has nothing to do with supporting IRI ...... hell with both IRI and Zionist regime of Israel .... who cares anymore
........

I don't care about Israel. I am not obsessed with it. Why should we be obsessed with Israel. Why should we care what they do to Palestinians. Did the Palestinians not join Saddam in war against Iran? That was it for me. I stopped giving a *** about them. 

Israel is a natural ally for Iran. Both nations are non Arabs in a hostile place. We are better off realizing this and making an alliance. I know many Israeli. They are not bad people. They are genuinely afraid for their lives: with good reason.

What you call "bullying" is self defense to them. Do you know what it is like to go to a restaurant and have your kids blown up by a suicide bomber? Do you know what that does to people's attitude. Of course they go nuts and demand their leaders blow the Arabs back up. It is not nice. But it is human nature. IR does the same thing. It makes slogans about wiping them out. So do you expect them to say "Oh AN is just kidding". Of course not! Remember they were being fried by Nazi's just 60 years ago.

1) Keep your insults to yourself. Remember admin sez "no insulting".

2) Yes there is a difference between USA and Israel. If you don't see the difference you need some basic course on nations; geography and politics. They are allies but not the same.

You wrote,   Israel has not sent war ships to the Persian Gulf. The ships you see are American and British. Do some research before you talk. 

Is there any difference?   

You asked, Why do they arm Hezbollah and send them to pick a fight. Why do they arm Hamas. Do you expect Israel to just sit back and take it. Would anyone?

West and Israel do it take, Iran does it to defend. There is a big difference.

Koochooloo, It is Dariush not soozan. You are not even smart enough to know that and you talk about politics. Go do more research!

Your previous comment is telling a different story.

That is right. I based that on Israelis logic. Imagine what the world would be if other countries acted as Israel has been.  So, there is no reason to feel sorry for Israel. Besides, they are an illegitimate and a criminal state. What is wrong with the truth? The same truth applies to Khamenei and some others.  Also, Ahmadinejad was referring to map of ME not the world. He believes they have the right to exist wherever they are welcomed, but not by force and taking the existence of others. What is wrong with that?  Israel doesn't need to send their own warships to Persian gulf, they have sent US warships.

The problem we have is that many in IRI speak the truth when it comes to international issues and expect respect and justice, but lie, disrespect and act unjust when it comes to internal issues.  IRI committing crimes doesn't make Israel or west right and innocent !

You three seem to think that IRR is innocent and just fine. It is not. It is the one trying to pick a fight with Israel. Why do they arm Hizbollah and send them to pick a fight. Why do they arm Hamas. Do you expect Israel to just sit back and take it. Would anyone?

by Benyamin on

I thank god that Turkish leaders are wise and not to the level of the israeli government. Any war that results in killing 1400 people to revenge two dead soldiers is not just.

Israel has made some irriversable mistake and time is against the Israeli existance if they continue this kind of stulidity as they have done in the past and I am hoping logic prevail on both sides.

I am not Jewish.

 and I just think the IRI is not as innocent as you think they are and provocation is their policy. Don`t be naive

Didn't i say, i can tell whom you stand with!!! The only country has the right to refuse is Egypt and they haven't. So it is no other country's business.  If Israeli bloodsuckers stop their genocide, they don't have to worry so much, but I guess they can't live without sucking blood.

Israeli bombing threats are not provocation, but Iranian ships going through Suez is? Israeli attack on civilian ship in international waters and killing nine humanitarian aid workers is more than provoking, it was an act of war.  Israel started a war because of two soldiers.  Turkey should have attacked Israel because of that. what did UN or any other so called human rights organizations or justice systems did to punish Israel? Nothing. Then you come here and defend Israel?

by Dr. X on

I agree with some other posts here. Israel does not have a legitimate argument. Egypt has said anyone can use the Suez canal as long as they are not at war with them. Mediterranean is international waters. End of argument.

Israel flies their warplanes over Lebanese airspace repeatedly. That is not provocation?


Benyamin

Wrong Kooshan

by Benyamin on

no Israeli warships have entered the great Persian gulf. Your information is not accurate. the closest the Israeli warships ever have got to Persian gulf is Indian ocean and Indian ports.

It is a provocation because the IRI has clearly said repeatedly that Israel must be wiped off the map and doesnot recognize the state of Israel.

This move is a sleazy and sneaky move by the IRI to take the attention away from the 25th of Bahman and divert attention else where.

Mullahs wouldn't dare sending the IRGC thugs on these ships...

by Everybody Loves Somebody ... on

Most likely, these ships are operated by the regular Iranian NAVY which I am sure has no resemblance to the pre-1979 IINAVY!?

To show they mean business, Israelis should raid the ships, offer political asylum to the regular Navy guys, arrest the ones that refuse to take asylum, and then sink the ships right on the Syrian harbor! And one more thing, if they find pictures of the supreme leader or Ahmadinejad on board, they should urinate on them before the sink the ships!
