In response to their recent exchange of naval attacks, which reached its height on Tuesday with a strike on an Iranian spy ship in the Red Sea, Israel is readying for a potential assault on its own assets inside Israel from Iran’s territory reports Israel Hayom.
The Saviz ship which featured an Iranian flag was hit with water mines attached to its hull on Wednesday. Israel did not claim responsibility for the attack, however, foreign media outlets are reporting that the IDF’s Shayetet 13 naval commandos executed the hit, which was the most recent in a slew of operations against Iran’s targets that the amphibious unit has executed the past two years.
It seems that, unlike previous incidents, whereby Israel Intercepted illicit oil or weapons smuggling, this time the operation’s objective was to let the Iranians realize that their recent attacks on ships that are owned by private Israeli businessmen are off-limits.

Sure, why not. Biden and the anti-Semitic left won’t help if Iran makes a move.
What would Iran have to lose (aside from a formal tisk-tisk for show). Heck, they might even get another pallet of money...
bkmk
China
Russia
Iran
North Korea
The era of Leftist inspired peace is upon us. /s
You mean Iran is not intimidated by Biden’s America?????
water mines = limpet mines
This is 100% attributable to gropey joe’s pro muzzies policy, following the orders of his “brains “ obammy.
Our nuclear forces have the most sophisticated designs in the world. So do China and Russia and possibly Pakistan and India. It was all stolen from us.
One must take great caution before launching a nuclear missile or aircraft. The enemy will do the same. Even more oddly is conventional forces. If a nation is forced into a corner and losing and thus will not exist, it will go nuclear.
Nuclear Armageddon is why we have not war today. Nukes in the hands of irrationals is a problem. IRAN.
Take heart, the targets will be Democrat cities.
And to think, before Jimmy Carter The Incompetent, Israel and Iran were on good terms.
They’ll talk, scream and whine like women in the streets.
But they will not attack Israel from Iranian territory.
I’m sure Israel can fight back but no question Iran is no paper tiger either
Freepers think this is simple black and white
It’s not....the Middle East is so messed up and even good guys ....pick bad friends at times...
Iran is the Germany of the Middle East population military and economy
They can’t be bullied into submission
No to mention NATO TURKEY is in bed with them as is Vlad
It’s just not as easy as rah rah Israel and Iran bad
I wish it were.....
Wonder how many here grasp the nuances from the Shahs fall till now
Man what a mess
I can promise anyone Israel is not looking to exchanging missles with Tehran anymore than we were with USSR
India
Pakistan
North Korea
Erdogon Turkey
Yet we stripped an ally South Africa
Are we smart or not?
Israel doesn’t want it either....both get bloodied
It’s like us and the ussr
Shame
Despite their occasional diplomatic misstep and constant internal mess Israel is more civilized exponentially
But im maybe in a minority here believing Iran doesn’t wish to destroy itself
Do Freepers know we have at times cooperated with them militarily etc
There is more to this than sound bites and headlines
I’m being rhetorical ....not to you personally
I’m kind of giving a speech HST style as is my wont
I wonder if Israel still operates under the ‘Samson Option’?
What does Iran have to lose?....Kharg Island for openers...all it’s known nuclear sites...it’s navy, air forces, and critical infrastructure...then if that’s not enough there are the nukes...
“If a nation is forced into a corner and losing and thus will not exist, it will go nuclear.”
There is a FReeper who has argued many times that there will never be a nuclear war. I’ve told him that the first time a nuclear capable country is in danger of losing a war on their own soil they WILL go nuclear. I firmly believe that.
