Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced full readiness to launch a comprehensive strike against Iran, threatening extensive targeting of its energy facilities and infrastructure should confrontations resume, aiming to send the country back forty years. Speaking during an appearance on
Israeli Channel 14, Katz stated that Israel and the United States had dropped thirty-five thousand bombs on multiple locations across Iranian territory, warning of pushing Tehran toward an era of darkness and stone age. Furthermore, the defense minister stressed that
bringing down the Iranian regime would clear the path for sweeping regional shifts, enabling official relations between regional nations and Tel Aviv, placing Israel at the center of these developments. These remarks align with earlier statements made by Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu on October fifth, where he affirmed relentless efforts to broaden the scope of regional peace, emphasizing resolute commitment to achieving it. Netanyahu also addressed the nuclear file, declaring that a nuclear-capable Iran aimed to erase Israel through a
strategic scheme designed to encircle it with hostile fire.
