Israel warns Iran: We could strike again, “we will return with even greater force”

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said during an event at an air base that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are prepared to resume military operations against Iran if this is deemed necessary.

He said the Israeli military is on alert to regain air superiority and strike Iranian targets again, with the aim of neutralizing threats against Israel.

“The IDF is ready and on alert to resume military operations aimed at regaining air superiority and striking Iran again to eliminate threats, for a third time, if necessary,” he said.

Katz also stressed that if circumstances require it, Israel will launch another military operation with even greater intensity.

“If we have to return, we will return with even greater force,” Katz said.

The Defense Minister also sent a direct message to Tehran, stressing that Israel has the capability to strike targets in any area of Iranian territory.

“Israel’s long arm will reach you in Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan and anywhere else you try to threaten Israel and harm it. There is no place where you can hide,” the Defense Minister said.

These statements come at a time when tensions between Israel and Iran continue, while the language used by both sides remains harsh.
