CAIRO, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Two Iranian navy ships have left Egypt's Suez Canal and entered the Mediterranean, a source in the canal authority said on Tuesday.
The source said the ships were expected to return through the canal on March 3.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had said he would take a "grave view" of the passage of the ships, the first Iranian naval vessels to go through the canal since Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution. (Reporting by Yusri Mohamed; Writing by Sarah Mikhail)
