Two Iranian warships have entered the Suez Canal on their way to the Mediterranean Sea, Canal officials said Tuesday. "They entered the canal at 0545 (0345 GMT)," the officials told reporters.
Iran claimed that the warships were headed to Syria "for training." Israel's Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and others called the move a "provocation".
Iran stated to Egypt that the vessels - a frigate named Alvand and a supply vessel named the Kharg - have no military equipment, no nuclear materials and no chemicals on board.
