The MV Helios Ray
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Reshet Bet radio Monday morning that the explosion in the Israeli-owned ship MV Helios Ray near Oman “was indeed perpetrated by Iran, it’s clear.” The Prime Minister added that Iran “is Israel’s greatest enemy and we are beating it throughout the region.
