Two Iranian warships were delayed entry in Egypt’s Suez Canal. This comes after Israel and the U.S. expressed strong concerns over the dispatch, a first for Tehran’s navy. Earlier Egyptian officials said they’d checked the cargo allowing the two vessels to pass. The passage was attacked by Israeli ministers who called for the world to act against Iran’s “recurring provocation”.
