Two days have passed since the Israeli-owned ship explosion in the Gulf of Oman, and the security system is clarifying the picture of the operative factor of the attack, the motive, and its consequences for the future.

Defense sources say the perpetrators of the attack are the naval armies of the Revolutionary Guards, who sought revenge for the assassination of Iranian officials Qassem Suleimani and Muhsan Fahrizadeh, and that Iran is planning further attacks.



The defense establishment recently received reports that tensions have accumulated in the security units in Tehran following the assassination of senior officials, and accordingly there are attempts to carry out attacks, some of which have been disrupted by the Israeli Mossad.



Therefore, the attack on the ship "Helios Ray", which is owned by businessman Rami Unger, did not surprise security officials.

"The person who hit an Israeli-owned ship did not intend to sink it but to signal to Israel about future intentions. This is the work of professionals," said one of them.

According to the defense establishment, Quds Force commander Ismail Kani is obsessively seeking revenge and the anger accumulated in the various units of the Revolutionary Guards is controlled by the Iranian leadership, which is currently negotiating with the United States over the nuclear deal.

Iran also recently claimed that Israel was sabotaging vessels in the area, but Jerusalem has so far not addressed these allegations.

The voltage threshold rose.

According to sources, there are warnings of Iranian attacks in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf against Israeli vessels aimed at harming Israeli interests.

"This is really not the end of the verse," said a senior security official. "Israel cannot restrain the incident. This is a very serious operation."



Also, in view of the growing tensions with the Iranians, a security discussion will take place in the next day on the issue.

One of the sources clarified that if there is unequivocal indictment - the event that requires a response.

The attack - a signal to come

A security expert for the naval arena said yesterday that the attack was only a signal, and not an attempt to carry out a deadly attack.

"For a very simple reason, if they had hit this scope in the back, in the engine area, or in the steering system - they would have sunk the ship," he explained.

"A disaster could have occurred. Therefore, they chose to hit the front, above the water line."



According to him, the manner of the attack and the damage caused also raises questions about the insurance of vessels in the area.

"There are still question marks around the ship. It is said that there are two holes on both sides of the same size. It is strange. If there was an outside fire, the entrance hole should be small. It is important to understand that even at the civilian level it has serious consequences." The insurance rises automatically and the insurance companies ask questions and analyze each case and its risks. "
