Defense Minister Israel Katz said Sunday that Israel will respond and attack Iran without any conditions or dependence, following Iranian missile fire toward Jordan earlier today, according to Ynet.
Defense Minister Israel Katz reaffirmed Israel's pledge to retaliate against Iran after Iranian missiles struck Jordan earlier Sunday. In a statement to Ynet, Katz said: 'If Iran attacks Israel, Israel will respond and strike back without any dependence and without any conditions.'
The remarks come minutes after a separate statement in which Katz warned that Israel would strike Iran 'forcefully, without conditions' if Tehran launched missiles. The Iranian fire on Jordan — a close Israeli ally — appears to have triggered the updated, more direct response.
Katz's latest warning, issued shortly after the reported attack on Jordan, leaves no ambiguity about Israel's posture: any Iranian attack on Israeli territory will be met with an unconditional retaliatory strike. The incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing shadow conflict between the two countries, with Jordan now drawn into the crossfire.
