Feb 18 (Reuters) - Egypt said on Friday it had received a request for Iranian naval vessels to pass through the Suez Canal, a move Israel's right-wing foreign minister has described as "provocative".

"We sent it to the relevant authorities," the Foreign Ministry spokesman told Reuters, adding the request had been passed to the Defence Ministry and the Suez Canal Authority.

He did not say when any decision on such a crossing would be made. To pass through the strategic waterway, naval vessels need the approval of the foreign and defence ministries. Iran has said the two ships, a frigate and supply ship, planned to cross.

Egypt to let Iranian vessels through Suez Canal

CAIRO – State media say Egypt has agreed to let two Iranian naval vessels transit the Suez Canal, a move that comes despite expressions of concern by Israeli officials.

State-run news agency MENA said Friday that authorities approved a request from Iranian diplomats who offered assurances that the two ships won't have weapons or nuclear or chemical material.

The move had been widely expected and Iranian officials have insisted the request is in line with international regulations. They say the two vessels are headed to Syria for training.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's Defense Ministry is reviewing a request of two Iranian naval vessels to transit the Suez Canal, Egypt's state TV said Friday, after Israel's foreign minister labeled the attempted passage a provocation.

Iranian officials said the request is in line with international regulations.

It is believed to be the first time since Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution that Iranian warships are attempting to pass through the Suez Canal, which links the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.

Iranian officials have said the two vessels, currently in international waters, are headed to Syria for training.

There had been contradictory reports on whether Egyptian authorities are considering the request, but state TV said Friday the Defense Ministry is reviewing the case.

Egypt has been run by an army-led transition government since last week's ouster of President Hosni Mubarak in a popular uprising. Iran's request could pose the first diplomatic dilemma for Egypt's new rulers.

A Suez Canal official said Egypt can only deny transit through the waterway in case of war.

Earlier this week, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Iran's attempt to send warships through the canal is a provocation.

Israel considers Iran an existential threat because of its disputed nuclear program, ballistic missile development, support for militants in the region and its threats to destroy Israel.

Iran naval ships to cross Suez Canal on Monday

(Reuters) - Two Iranian naval ships will sail through the Suez Canal from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean on Monday, a Suez Canal official said on Saturday.

The vessels will be the first Iranian naval ships to pass through the canal since Iran's 1979 revolution. Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Wednesday Iran's plan to send the ships through the canal en route to Syria was a "provocation."
