The announcement and the unusual images are apparently part of the American promise to Israel to start exerting some pressure on Iran, with the understanding that the Iranians are pulling time and not signing the nuclear agreement - while at the same time Iran continues to advance and develop its nuclear program.
In Israel, they were not surprised by this, because at the beginning of the month, the chairman of the National Security Council, Eyal Hulta, met with his American counterpart, the American National Security Adviser, Jake Sullivan.
At the end of the meeting, Israeli officials estimated that the US patience with the Iranians was dragging its feet, and the US would be willing to impose certain sanctions and even signal to Iran.
Israel did not think the Biden administration would agree to impose significant sanctions similar to the Trump administration, but saw this as progress.
Indeed, in addition to the US bomber flight over Israel yesterday, over the weekend the US State Department announced sanctions on two entities and four individuals associated with the Revolutionary Guards UAV production plan. In the Air Force of the Revolutionary Guards, led by an attack on the Mercer Street tanker in Oman Bay in July - in which two crew members were killed.
It will be recalled that the Minister of Defense, Bnei Gantz, has previously revealed his name.
Sanctions were also imposed on an Iranian company called Kimia Part Sivan, which helped the Revolutionary Guards improve their UAV plans, and on Mahams Ibrahim Zerger Tehrani - who helped that company import the necessary components from companies outside Iran.
Sanctions were also imposed on Abdullah Mahrabi, a senior member of the Revolutionary Guards and one of the operatives of Oje Parvaz Mado Nafar, as well as the company's director, Yosef Abu Talbi, who provided UAV guards with UAV engines.
In Israel, they expressed some satisfaction with the American moves, and estimated that the patience of the Americans had begun to expire in light of the Iranian conduct.
At the same time, Israel does not agree that the Biden administration will impose severe sanctions in the near future, and estimates that even if the talks on the nuclear deal are renewed, as announced by Iran - Tehran will continue to take time to advance its nuclear program and accumulate the necessary knowledge to develop a bomb. Nuclear.
No agreement can be taken from Iran by this agreement.
