Speaking at an Israeli Air Force pilots' graduation ceremony, Defense Minister Israel Katz said the IDF is alert and prepared to resume the campaign against Iran, and ready to carry out independent 'blue-and-white' strikes in Iran to remove threats, even for a third time. He added that if necessary, Israel will return with even greater force.
At an Israeli Air Force pilots' graduation ceremony Thursday evening, Defense Minister Israel Katz delivered a pointed warning to Iran, stating that Israel is prepared to resume military operations against the Islamic Republic if necessary. Katz said the IDF is 'alert and prepared for the resumption of the campaign' and ready to carry out 'blue-and-white' (independent) strikes in Iran to remove threats, even for a third time. 'If we need to return, we will return with even greater force,' he added. The statement is the latest in a series of similar warnings from Katz and other Israeli officials over the past several weeks, as The Zioneer has reported. Since the ceasefire with Iran, Katz has repeatedly stressed that the campaign is not over and that the IDF is preparing for independent strikes. The remarks come amid ongoing tensions and the possibility of renewed escalation.
