The Israeli Army Radio reported today (Thursday) that the Israeli Air Force conducted joint training in recent days with its Cypriot counterpart “simulating an attack on Iran,” as reported by the Arab World News Agency.
According to the Israeli broadcasting authority, this training comes “as part of ongoing preparations to respond to any potential Iranian aggression.”
The authority noted that the Israeli Air Force had halted its exercises six months ago due to its engagement in the conflict in the Gaza Strip and the northern front. However, it recently resumed them “amidst threats from Tehran.”
Israel and Iran have long been engaged in heightened tensions, with Israel expressing concerns over Iran’s nuclear program and alleged support for militant groups in the region.
The joint military exercises with Cyprus signal Israel’s determination to maintain military readiness and deter potential threats from Iran.
