Israel and Iran both deploy ships to the Red Sea area

In an interesting development both Israel and Iran have deployed warships to the Red Sea area.  Israel is acting in response to terrorist threats from the area.  The ships were sent to patrol the area and to try to prevent terrorists from coming in through Egypt. 

According to Iranian leadership, Iran's 15th fleet (consisting of several warships and a submarine) has been deployed to the Red Sea area to show her force on the seas and to thwart pirates.  I find it a little to coincidental that Iran's ships have been deployed at the same time as Israel's. 

I feel certain this mutual deployment will only cause already sky-high tensions between the two nations to escalate even further.  It seems likely that a confrontation between the two nations will happen sooner rather than later. 

Iran will be part of the Islamic coalition to attack Israel in the Gog-Magog war of Ezekiel 38-39.  Their involvement in this future military campaign does not preclude the possibility of an earlier confrontation between these two states.  In fact, a confrontation between the two could further set the pieces in place for this future battle.  (For example: the Islamic coalition of Ezekiel 38-39 could rise against Israel in response to an attack by Israel on Iran to knock out its nuclear capabilities.)
