Israel Prepared for Iranian Escalation, Defense Minister Warns
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that any Iranian attack on Israel would remove all existing limitations on Israel's response against Iran. He warned that Iran's national infrastructure, including energy facilities, would be targeted, potentially returning the country to the "Stone Age."

Katz asserted that Iran's leadership understands the consequences of attacking Israel, referencing past Israeli actions that he claimed destroyed Iran's nuclear program, eliminated its leader, and severely damaged its strategic capabilities. He suggested that despite this, the severe economic pressure and fear of internal revolt might push Iran towards desperate actions.

The Defense Minister emphasized that Israel is well-prepared, both defensively and offensively, for any eventuality, and that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are ready to execute any mission. The article also includes a photo credit for the Strait of Hormuz.
