US EditionIsrael defense minister says awaiting US green light to 'return Iran to Stone Age'
Israel says its forces are ready for new strikes on Iran, with targets identified and a U.S. signal still needed before any escalation.
- On Thursday, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that Israel is "prepared to resume the war against Iran," pending approval from President Donald Trump, and threatened to return Iran to "the Stone Age."
- The ongoing war began in February when an initial US-Israel attack killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, destabilizing the global economy, while his successor has yet to appear publicly.
- Katz warned the next strike will be "different and far more lethal," delivering blows to sensitive points, and vowed to eliminate Iran's leadership and destroy its energy infrastructure.
- President Trump indefinitely extended the US-Iran ceasefire on Tuesday to facilitate negotiations, as Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz choked off roughly 20% of the global oil supply.
- Meanwhile, Israeli and Lebanese officials are meeting in Washington to discuss extending a 10-day ceasefire, while Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon described Lebanon as a "failed state" and Hezbollah as the obstacle to peace.
