Just to note, the Iranian navy employs just 5 capital ships; all frigate class (think US Coast Guard), 3 small corvettes, 15 submarines and swarms of fast attack boats.

Iranian warships coming to Mediterranean and Red Seas

(visit the link for the full news article)
Less than 24 hours after the breakdown of its nuclear dialogue with the six world powers in Istanbul, Iran announced plans Sunday, Jan. 23, to senda fleet of warships, including a home-made destroyer, on operational and intelligence-gathering missions to the Red Sea and on to the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal. Parts of the fleet will in fact be deployed in the three waters around Israel's southern and western shores.
Wow, a "home-made" destroyer? What is that? Maybe made of
Balsa wood with a trolling motor armed with a BB gun.
I am sure the Israelies are quivering in their boots.

I have grave doubts this will happen or that those ships will traverse the Suez.. especially considering how constricted those waters are and the risks that poses. besides I think Iran has enough problems protecting her own waters.

Hahahahahahahahahaha!
Well, no I'm sure the vast majority of Americans aren't evil, but does that mean that Iranians are?
Why would you think such a thing? Because the media and your government has been saying it?
Consider this though. Iran isn't an imperalistic country with hundreds of military bases spread around the globe. The United States and Israel have nuclear weapons. The United States has invaded two Middle Eastern countries.
So tell me.....who do you think is the threat to world peace here?
U.S Military Bases

Grave doubts? Really?

Iran is up to something IMO though. They are sneaky and not to be trusted at all. I'm sure that Israel is keeping a close eye on these ships, with their fingers on the trigger...
