I've Been Thinking:

Israel, along with United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and the United States is involved in a 5-day naval drill in the Red Sea.

By way of this drill, the nations are sending a direct message to Iran. They are telling Iran that, as a group, they are increasing their coordination, their interactive communication and their ability to streamline information, movement and strikes.

Iran received the message, and they have responded. Iran has said that Israel may start the conflict with Iran, but Iran will certainly end it.

Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Commander of Aerospace General Amir Ali Hajizadeh told official Iranian media Tasnim that: “Any mistake by Israel in dealing with Tehran will accelerate its destruction.”

An Israeli briefing about this joint naval drill indicated it was not just a message directed to Iran, it was also a tool to reduce the exaggerated and unbalanced projection of power that Iran has, over these last few months, been presenting.

This is as much about perception as it is about tactics and strategy.
