Tel Aviv responded to the call of its American ally by sending its cruise missile submarine to the shores of Iran to demonstrate strength and support for the US Navy's AUG. The Iranian military reacted sharply to this information, saying that the submarine would be sunk.
As a result, this mission ended, so almost without starting. The Israeli submarine of the Dolphin-2 class was discovered on January 5 in the area of the resort city of Eilat (Red Sea). Thus, the Israeli Navy submarine not only did not arrive in the waters of the Persian Gulf, but did not even pass the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. This information is confirmed by a photo of the submarine taken on 05.01.2021 by Israeli military reporter Shai Levy.
"The navy submarine, which was reported by all the media, was heading for Iran ... but arrived safely in the area of the southern resort city of Eilat," the journalist said.
It should be noted, notes Free News, that Israel goes to force measures only if there is no response or the Israelis will remain unpunished. In light of the statements of the command of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) about the likely attack on the Israeli submarine, Tel Aviv decided not to risk withdrawing the boat back.
