Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that Israel is fully prepared to launch a powerful attack on Iran, targeting its energy infrastructure. He explained that striking these vital facilities would set Iran back 40 years, plunging it into an era of "darkness and poverty." Katz emphasized that the attack would be carried out with "extraordinary force."

Katz also reported that Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon have achieved their objectives, resulting in the destruction of a significant portion of buildings and infrastructure. He indicated that these operations affected tens of thousands of homes and underground tunnels, leading hundreds of thousands of residents to flee. "Seventy to eighty percent of Gaza is destroyed," Katz claimed, adding that Israel and the United States dropped 35,000 bombs on the area.

Regarding potential threats from Palestinian security forces, Katz stated that the Israeli military has a plan to address any situation where these forces might turn their weapons against Israel. He mentioned updating a two-year-old plan from an anti-intifada strategy to one focused on "victory over the enemy."

In a separate, unconfirmed tweet cited in the article, it was suggested that once the Iranian regime is defeated, the region will move toward overt relations with Israel at its center.
