Oh: Egyptian state harbormasters

"An Israeli submarine sailed the Suez Canal to the Red Sea as part of a naval drill last month, defense sources said on Friday, describing the unusual maneuver as a show of strategic reach in the face of Iran. Israel long kept its three Dolphin-class submarines, which are widely assumed to carry nuclear missiles, away from Suez so as not to expose them to the gaze of Egyptian harbormasters."" Yes, as if Egyptian state harbormasters give a shit whether Israeli submarines bomb anywhere in the region, including in Egypt. (thanks Dina)
