Iranian military ships frigate “Alvand” (R) and light replenishment ship “Bushehr” are seen docked for refueling on May 6, 2014 in Port Sudan, 250 kilometres (155 miles) across the Red Sea from Iran’s regional rival Saudi Arabia. Sudan’s army spokesman Sawarmi Khaled Saad said the warships, one of them a navy supply ship, had arrived in Port Sudan, where civilians could tour the vessels during their port call. Naval vessels from Iran have periodically stopped in Port Sudan for what Khartoum describes as normal port calls. AFP PHOTO/STR (Photo credit should read STR/AFP/Getty Images)
