IRAN'S SUEZ GAMBIT: DELAYED 48 HOURS


HAARETZ:

The passage of two Iranian naval vessels through the Suez Canal has been delayed by 48 hours, a canal official said on Sunday.
(CORROBORATED HERE.)

HMMMMMMM...

I WONDER WHY THE DELAY? WHAT'S NOT YET IN PLACE? WAS THIS A DELAY REQUESTED BY IRAN? BY EGYPT? THE USA? HAMAS? HIZBALLAH?

THIS MEANS THEY WILL PASS THROUGH THE CANAL ON WEDNESDAY, 2/23/11.

WHY RISK THIS VERY PROVOCATIVE MOVE, (WHAT'S CALLED A GAMBIT IN CHESS)?

WHAT CAN THEY GAIN FROM A PROVOCATIVE TRANSIT THROUGH THE CANAL?

I THINK THEY WANT TO BE A MEDITERRANEAN POWER AND HAVE A DIRECT ROLE IN THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT.

I HAVE A FEELING THAT THEY WILL TRY TO DOCK IN GAZA ON THURSDAY - AND WHEN TURNED BACK, USE IT AS AN EXCUSE TO MOUNT A MINOR ATTACK, USE THE INEVITABLE ISRAELI COUNTER-ATTACK AS AN INCITING INCIDENT WITH WHICH TO START A NEW ARAB-ISRAELI WAR AND FOMENT AN UPRISING ON FRIDAY WITHIN ARAB LANDS AND ANOTHER INTIFADA WITHIN ISRAEL.

STAY TUNED...

  1. IMO the Iranians are making this up as they go along--if things heat up with the anti-Mullah demos in Teheran they may try to start a conflict with Israel. They're playing with matches.

    "THIS MEANS THEY WILL PASS THROUGH THE CANAL ON WEDNESDAY, 2/23/11"
    Feb 23 = 20th of Rabi' al-awwal on the Islamic calendar. This passage could mark or prepare to mark a specific anniversary coordinated during the Friday Khutbah.

    Some events marked during Rabi al-awwal:

    The Hijra (migration) took place in this month
    Eid-e-Zahra (a.k.a. Eid e shuja), a celebration of Shi‘ah Muslims
    Marriage of Muhammad to Khadijah bint Khuwaylid
    Building of the Quba Mosque (1st mosque in Islam)
