Defense Minister, Israel Katz's Statements
“Israel is prepared to renew the war against Iran. The IDF is ready for both defense and offense, and the targets are marked,” The Times of Israel reported Katz as saying.
“Israel is awaiting a green light from the United States, first and foremost to complete the elimination of the Khamenei dynasty, the initiator of the extermination plan against Israel, and the successors of the successors of the leadership of the Iranian terror regime, and also to return Iran to the age of darkness and stone by blowing up central energy and electricity facilities and crushing national economic infrastructure,” Katz said.
“This time, the attack will be different and more deadly, and will add devastating blows in the most painful places, following the enormous blows the Iranian terror regime has already suffered so far, which will shake and collapse its foundations,” the defense minister added.
