Israel Says Iranian Warships in Red Sea Present a Global Threat
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz unveiled recent satellite images showing four Iranian military ships in the Red Sea at the Economist Government Roundtable in Athens on Tuesday. "Iran is expanding its aggressive operations," Gantz said. "Today, we can confirm that Iran is methodically basing itself in the Red Sea, with warships patrolling the southern region." "The presence of Iran's military forces in the Red Sea in recent months is the most significant in a decade. It is a direct threat to trade, energy and the global economy." Gantz also noted that the test of an Iranian satellite launcher last week "demonstrates that the Iranian regime has the capabilities to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles that may reach as far as the center of Europe."
