Israel, US Conducting Defense Exercises in Negev with Thousands of US Soldiers
IHT reports,
Israel and the U.S. are conducting a large-scale missile defense exercise aimed at combining their systems, American and Israeli officials said Sunday, as both countries warn that Iran could obtain nuclear weapons and long-range missiles.
The operation, code-named “Juniper Cobra,” is taking place in the Negev desert in southern Israel with thousands of American and Israeli troops. Both sides described the timing as routine, denying a direct connection to the Iran threat.
And why is this necessary to publicise???
One good reason, plz…
Why publicise it?
Because it sends a message to Iran and their proxies.
JuniperCobra is about sending messages and providing an opportunity to mobilise, and leave behind, sundry equipment should, may G-d forbid, Iran not adequately understand that message in the next 6 months.
