The threatening exchange of messages between the parties continues:
IDF F15 planes today (Thursday) accompanied two American B-1b bombers and a KC-10 American refueling plane that crossed the skies of the State of Israel on their way from the Gulf.
The IDF spokesman said that "the flight took place as part of the cooperation with the US military, which is a significant step in maintaining the security of the skies of the State of Israel and the Middle East."
The photos were released after an announcement was made earlier about a joint exercise by the armies of Israel, the United States, the Emirates and Bahrain in the Red Sea.
The exercise, which will run for five days, includes training at sea aboard the amphibious cargo ship Portland and will focus on visiting, ascending, searching and capture tactics.
According to the IDF Spokesman's statement, "the training will increase the capacity for mutual action between the naval teams of the participating forces."

All of this is taking place against the background of preparations for the resumption of nuclear talks between Iran and the powers in Vienna on November 29, and the threatening messages that often pass between Israel and Iran.
As you may recall, Iran recently announced that it is editing in the Indian Ocean and the northern Red Sea.
The exercise, "Zulfikar 1400", combines maneuvers by the Iranian Navy, Air Force and Revolutionary Guards.
