State media says Egypt gave permission for Iranian warships to transit Suez Canal in Mediterranean

Egypt gave permission on Friday for Iranian warships to transit the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean, state media reported, after Israel described move as a "provocation."
  
"Egypt agreed to allow two Iranian warships to transit the Suez Canal, the official MENA news agency reported.
  
Canal officials say it would be the first time Iranian warships have transited the passage since the 1979 Islamic revolution.

Two days ago, Israeli Foreign Minister called the move provocative and hinted at an Israeli response. "Tonight, two Iranian warships are meant to pass through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean Sea and reach Syria, something that has not happened in many years," Lieberman said in a speech distributed by his office.

"To my regret, the international community is not showing readiness to deal with the recurring Iranian provocations. The international community must understand that Israel cannot forever ignore these provocations," the Israeli foreign minister has claimed.
