I've Been Thinking:

Israel has three nuclear submarines and several others on order.
The subs are Dolphin types made in German and specially "redesigned and refitted" for Israeli specifications.

"Redesigned and refitted" is a euphemism for making the tubes larger to accommodate nuclear missiles.

A dolphin sub recently participated in a drill in the Red Sea and docked in the Israeli port city of Eilat.

That was very unusual - the whereabouts of Dolphins are top secret, but this one was deliberately on display for anyone who cared to look.

Displaying the sub was such a tremendous change in policy that Muslim countries sat up and took notice.

The sub went through the Suez Canal which required advance permission from Egypt and meant that the nuclear sub was un-submerged.

Never before had an Arab country, knowingly, been so close to an Israeli nuclear submarine.

The real message was directed at Iran.

Iran needs to know that Israeli subs are real and ready to enter the battle arena. Iran needs to know that Israeli subs have range and have both conventional and non conventional tools for battle.

Israel wanted Iran to see their submarine.
