Israel Warns Iran of Consequences of an Attack on the Country
- On Thursday, Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that an Iranian attack on Israel would release the IDF "from any restrictions" during a speech to Defense Ministry employees ahead of Rosh Hashanah.
- His comments follow a statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday that an attack by the Iranian regime would be "one of their last decisions," made during a visit to Sderot addressing threats to Israel.
- Katz threatened to destroy "all national, military, and civilian infrastructure in Iran, including energy infrastructure," while emphasizing the Iranian regime "knows very well" why it has recently avoided attacking Israel.
- Asserting "Israel is prepared for defense and attack," Katz added that heavy U.S. sanctions pressure is "likely" to push Iran "to the brink of destruction." Israeli officials claim past operations destroyed Iran's nuclear program.
- Netanyahu's message that Iran "is attacking and threatening everyone, but not here, because they already know what the significance of an attack against Israel would be" underscores the Israeli deterrence strategy both leaders articulated.
