Permalink Iran warships docking at Syrian port

Two Iranian vessels are docking at Syria port after they passed through the Suez Canal for the first time since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran. On Tuesday, Iranian vessels, Khark and Alvand, crossed the Suez Canal, a strategic international shipping route in Egypt for the first time since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979. The 1,500-ton patrol frigate Alvand is armed with torpedoes and anti-ship missiles, while the larger 33,000-ton supply vessel Khark has 250 crewmembers and can carry three helicopters.

Following the passage of the two Iranian warships, the United States said on Tuesday that it is "watching carefully" the activities of the Iranian warships in the Mediterranean Sea. "We continue to monitor the movements of these ships and their actions," AFP quoted US State Department spokesman Philip Crowley as saying.
