JERUSALEM, 03 June 2022, (TON): The army said “dozens of Israeli fighter jets conducted exercises over the Mediterranean and warships held Red Sea drills this week, as it readies for different scenarios against Iran.
The two arch enemies have been locked in a shadow war that comes amid tensions over stalled efforts to revive a deal meant to ensure Iran is unable to develop a nuclear weapon.
Israel is staunchly opposed to the 2015 nuclear deal and has vowed to do whatever it takes to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear bomb.
An Israeli military statement on the exercises said “we continuously are preparing and training for many scenarios including threats from Iran.”
It said in the statement “dozens of Israeli Air Force fighter jets conducted aerial drills over the Mediterranean Sea to practice a long-range flight and striking distant targets.”
