That is what I was thinking. The Iranian warships were scheduled to go through the canal a month ago. With Egypt "busy" with internal affairs, it is less likely that the Egyptian authorities will participate as vigorously in the Gaza blockade as they have in the past. With that weakened part, the insertion of Iranian warships just amps up the intensity.

One nice side-effect of having an Antisemite in Chief is that Israel knows that the U.S. will not intervene, now they are immune from the US State department's attempts to manipulate Israeli security through empty promises.
