Israel is prepared “to push Iran back to the dark ages,” Defense Minister Israel Katz remarked on Thursday. During a situation assessment at the Defense Ministry, Katz stated that the Israeli military is prepared to resume the conflict with Iran.
“The targets have been marked,” he stated.
Katz mentioned that Israel is “waiting for approval” from the United States to continue the conflict and “finish the eradication of the Khamenei dynasty and revert Iran to the dark ages.”
On Thursday evening, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold a meeting with senior security officials to address matters concerning Israel and Lebanon, an Israeli source informed Xenix News.
A fresh round of direct discussions between the US and Iran appears doubtful as both parties intensify their rhetoric and actions. The US has taken control of ships it claims are transporting Iranian oil, while Iran has essentially shut down the Strait of Hormuz, with both nations displaying no willingness to retreat.
“This time, the assault will be distinct and lethal, delivering catastrophic hits to the most sensitive areas — in line with the severe damages the Iranian terror regime has already endured — hits that will rattle and undermine its core,” Katz stated.
Despite Israel’s assassination of numerous high-ranking Iranian leaders, the regime seems to have withstood the most significant attacks up to this point.
