Netanyahu, Katz Warn of Massive Response if Iran Attacks Israel Amid Regime Threats
Israel said it is ready for defensive and offensive action as tensions rise over U.S.-Iran clashes and fears of a wider regional war.
- On Thursday, Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that an Iranian attack would prompt Israel to strike Iran's national, military, civilian, and energy infrastructure, threatening to send the country "back deep into the Stone Age and darkness."
- Tensions heightened after Iran warned the United States of retaliation if Israeli forces capture the Hezbollah-held Ali al-Taher ridge in Lebanon, where Iranian officers are allegedly stationed alongside Hezbollah fighters.
- Katz argued that Iran's deteriorating economic and political stability could push Tehran toward "desperate measures," noting Israel remains prepared for any further escalation, offensively and defensively.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu similarly declared this week that Israel would ultimately defeat the Islamic Republic, stating, "We will defeat this regime. It will fall, we will bring it down."
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth extended deployments for roughly 50,000 American forces through 2027 to ensure the United States maintains capacity to rapidly respond if Iran escalates the confrontation.
