Egypt: Iranian Warships Not Yet Approved to Enter Suez Convoy Queue

 

Egypt’s Suez Canal Authority has not yet received military approval to allow two Iranian navy ships to pass north into the Mediterranean, a source at the authority said on Saturday.

“The two ships have not reached until now the southern entrance of the Canal and are not even in the waiting area,” the source told Reuters.

Once approval arrives, the ships will be able “to enter with the first convoy coming from the south,” the source said.
