Israel, Iran and the Suez Canal - The Next Hot Spot

Telegraph: Reports that two Naval Ships from Iran are expected to start passing through the Suez Canal on Monday. This might be time for Israel to show some backbone, either prevent the ships coming through or taking them when the pass the Suez Canal. There will be a world outcry from the usual suspects but it would send a message to Tehran, BACK OFF, it would show that Israel will not allow the revolts in the Middle East as way for Iran to gain more power in the region. But the chances are that Israel will do nothing under pressure from the Oval Office, then Iran will crow that its influence is growing and the security of Israel will be more under threat.
