22-Feb-11: Update - Iranian warships are on the move
From
Associated Press in the past hour:
Suez Canal officials say two Iranian naval vessels have entered the strategic waterway en route for the Mediterranean Sea. Canal officials say the ships — a frigate and a supply vessel — entered the canal early Tuesday morning and are expected to reach the Mediterranean later in the day. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they aren't authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
UPI says this morning:
Passage through the Canal can take 14 hours... Iranian Navy Lt. Cmdr. Rear Adm. Gholam-Reza Khadem Biqam told Iran's Fars news agency the warships will be dispatched to the Mediterranean Sea and will remain in the area for a year for training exercises. The canal's northern mouth, Port Said, is approximately 60 miles from Israel. The warships' intended destination means they will be sailing parallel to the coast of Israel...

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
