Suez Canal officials: Iranian navy ships' passage delayed
Iranian TV claims ships have already made first passage through canal since 1979
The passage of two Iranian naval vessels through the Suez Canal has been delayed by 48 hours, canal officials said Sunday, denying a report from Iran that said the ships had already gone through the waterway.
The frigate and supply ship had been due to enter the canal with the northbound convoy that moves daily at 6 a.m. (0400 GMT) on Monday.
The passage through the canal would be a first for Iranian naval vessels since Iran's 1979 Islamicrevolution
.
Earlier on Sunday, Iran's Arabic language state television channel Al Alam TV reported that the ships had passed through the Suez Canal.
The military, which has been running Egypt since President Hosni Mubarak was toppled Feb. 11, approved Iran's request to send the ships through the canal, an Egyptian army source said Friday.
The request was a difficult one for Egypt's interim government. Cairo is an ally of the United States and has a peace treaty with Israel, and its relations with Iran have been strained since Iran's 1979 revolution.
Video: Report: Iran warships to sail through Suez Canal (on this page)The plan to send the ships through the canal is an attempt by Iran to expand its regional influence, and Israel takes a grave view of the move, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday.
"We can see what an unstable region we live in, an area in which Iran is trying to take advantage of the situation that has arisen and broaden its influence by transferring two warships via the Suez Canal," he said in public remarks to his cabinet.
"Israel takes a grave view of this Iranian step," Netanyahu said, adding the Jewish state would need to boost defense spending as a result of Tehran's move and recent regional upheaval.

House Session February 18, 2011
The problem is both the House and the Senate are off till the 28th of February, which gives the Senate five working days to amend or pass the bill.. And as I see it unless all Democrats agree to what is in the Bill it will not pass, even if it does the President has said he would veto it. The Republicans know this and that is why they did what they did with healthcare, abortion covered up by Planned Parenthood Funding, EPA funding,
I have never been more fearful of what is happening to my country, it is being torn apart at the seams, there will be no budget and the republicans will not pass a temporary funding unless it contains spending cuts. At least that is what Mr Graham said this morning on Meet the Press.......Yikes.
