Washington: In the aftermath of the attack by a driver on a ship off the coast of Amman at the end of July, the Israeli Defense Minister Peni Gantz, and the Secretary of State Yair Lapid practiced comprehensively, where they spoke to the United States and Britain.Lapid briefed on the ambassadors of the UN Security Council member, and determined the identity of the man that Israel holds the responsibility of the attack, saying that he was “Said Ara Jani, who is the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards drone..This is the person responsible for the terrorist attacks in the Gulf of Oman..
It appears that the attack participated in many suicide bomber planes that struck a ship bridge called "Mercer Street".This was the last attack in a series of attacks on commercial ships that Israel accused Iran of responsibility.This development comes in the wake of tensions between Israel and Iran, and also two years after Washington accused Tehran of bombing six ships off the coast of Amman.
Moreover, this development comes after Iran launched an attack by a plane on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in September 2019, and after Israel said that an Iranian driver had penetrated the Israeli airspace in May 2021, during the fighting between Israel and Hamas..This attack also comes in the context of the attacks by militias loyal to Iran on the American forces in Iraq.The meaning of all these attacks is that Iranian drones are now a great danger throughout the region.
The American writer and academic, Seth Francman, said in a report published by the National Interest magazine that Israel took advantage of this moment to attract international attention..He pointed out that the ship that was attacked was not an Israeli ship, and that it was a London -based company that runs the ship.However, it appears that Iran is targeting commercial ships that it believes is linked to Israel through the usual network of overlapping companies that tend to manage, possess and control the shipping department.This is because ships usually lack air defenses and are easy targets.Israel has advanced fifth -generation aircraft, and it also has the latest drone anti -aircraft systems, but the protection of ships in the sea requires the Gulf states and other naval forces more effort.
The Israeli Minister of Defense and Foreign Affairs hosted the ambassadors of the UN Security Council member to inform them of the situation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquarters.
The Israeli Ministry of Defense said in a statement that "briefing is part of the national efforts made by the State of Israel to invite the international community to condemn and stop Iranian terrorism and violence in the region."During the past week, Israel moved in all possible diplomatic and security channels to invite the international community to set clear borders for Iran and to stop its aggressive behavior.".
Gantz said: “Amir Ali Haj Zadeh, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Air Force is responsible for dozens of terrorist attacks in the region using drones and missiles ... For the first time ever, I will reveal the identity of the man who is directly responsible for the launch of the suicide bombers- his name is Saeed Ara JaniAnd the head of the drone driving in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards..
Gantz continued: “Driving drones carried out the attack on Mercer Street.Saeed Ara Jani plans and offers training and equipment to carry out terrorist attacks in the region.Iran has violated all the directives stipulated in the comprehensive joint action plan (Iran's nuclear agreement), which is only 10 weeks away from obtaining materials necessary to make nuclear weapons to be able to manufacture a nuclear weapon..
This matter caused amazement, because although Israel alone holds Iran responsible for the ship's attack, the broader tensions in the region and the United States and Iran were.It focuses on the Iranian nuclear program.Since the administration of former US President Donald Trump withdrew from the Iranian nuclear agreement, Iran has increased uranium enrichment operations.
Iran has increased uranium enrichment in an effort to pressure the United States and others to return to the framework of the agreement.Iran has become a new president who takes power, Ibrahim Raisi, and it is not clear whether Iran will spend more time holding talks in Vienna to settle the differences related to the nuclear agreement..Iran has begun to turn its direction to the east, where it looks at the conflict in Afghanistan and seeks to establish closer relations with China to strengthen its role in a new global system that assumes that the post -US hegemony world will be.
Israel is concerned not only from the nuclear program, but from the broader Iranian danger that comes from Iranian concentration in Syria, the flow of Iranian weapons to Hezbollah, as well as the drones stationed in Yemen and Iraq, as well as Iranian ballistic missiles.Gantz said: “The Iranian people are not an enemy.The Iranian regime threatens us and causes a regional arms race..
On the other hand, Lapid talked about the recent Iranian practices, stressing that this is not a conflict between armies in Syria, "This is not a secret operation against a military facility ... It is an attack on global trade routes.This is an attack on freedom of movement.This is an international crime..
Franclan said it is unclear what Israel will do after that.The United States and Britain have criticized Iran because of the attack.Israel is expected to respond to the attack, but it has a set of options.In addition, there are concerns about how Iran reaches.The Iranian media said that the attack on the ship came in response to an Israeli air strike in Syria.This means that each side believes that it responds to the other, but the difference is that the attack launched by Iran with a march plane resulted in the killing of two people on board, which are British and another Romanian.They were two civilian sailors, and not fighters.
Frankman concluded his report by saying that Israel was strengthening its international relations recently.Its F -35 fighters have participated in multiple joint exercises with the United States and others, and Israel recently hosted joint exercises for drones with six countries.The Israeli drones are considered one of the latest models of these aircraft and constitutes about 80 % of the Air Force flight time.
