Times of Israel: Israel, UAE, Bahrain, US hold major Red Sea drill ‘to counter Iran’s aggression’ 

Naval exercise represents first public military cooperation between Jerusalem and Manama; comes amid growing tensions with Tehran at sea 

The navies of Israel, the United States, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain launched a joint exercise in the Red Sea this week, in response to their shared adversary Iran’s presence and aggression in the waters of the Middle East, a senior Israeli naval official said.
