CAIRO (AFP) – A senior Suez Canal official said Iranian warships had yet to reach Egypt's waterway on Sunday to cross into the Mediterranean, in the first such passage since Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution.
Iranian media reported earlier that the ships were already in the Mediterranean and on their way to a Syrian port.
"No Iranian ships have passed. Not today, not yesterday, not the day before," the head of the canal's operations room, Ahmed al-Manakhly, told AFP by telephone.
Manakhly did not say when the Iranian ships were scheduled to arrive but canal officials have privately said they were expected early on Monday.
In the wake of president Hosni Mubarak's ouster on February 11, Egypt gave permission on Friday for the warships to transit the canal into the Mediterranean, in what Iran's archfoe Israel has described as a "provocation".
Canal officials say it would be the first time Iranian warships have made the passage since the Islamic revolution which led to the severing of diplomatic ties between Tehran and Cairo.
Iran's official Fars news agency, quoting senior naval commanders, has identified the ships as the 33,000-tonne refuelling and support vessel Kharg and the 1,500-tonne light patrol frigate Alvand.
The Kharg has a crew of 250 and can carry up to three helicopters. The Alvand is armed with torpedos and anti-ship missiles.
Egypt's MENA news agency has reported that the request for the ships to pass through the Suez Canal said they were not carrying weapons or nuclear and chemical materials.
