Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Sunday evening that any Iranian attack on Israel would be met with a 'crushing blow,' reiterating the IDF's readiness to strike. The statement, published by Israeli media, follows a similar warning issued minutes earlier, in which Katz said Iran would face a 'pressure strike' and that Israel had prepared 90% against Iran and its proxies.
Katz has repeatedly escalated his rhetoric against Tehran in recent weeks, including confirming that US combat aircraft have operated from Israeli bases to strike Iran, and that Israel is prepared for 'Operation White-Blue' — a codename for independent kinetic action inside Iranian territory. The latest warning comes amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing Israeli operations across multiple fronts.
