Defense Minister Israel Katz stated Tuesday night that Israel wants to restart the war against Iran but the United States is preventing it, according to a report.
Tuesday night's statement from Defense Minister Israel Katz reiterates the position he expressed earlier today — that Israel is eager to resume military action against Iran but is being restrained by the United States. As The Zioneer reported Tuesday at 13:05, Katz stated that Israel 'strongly desires' to strike Iran's energy facilities, but the US is currently preventing it.
The new statement, which uses the phrase 'restart the war,' comes amid a broader pattern of Israeli officials signaling readiness for a renewed campaign. In recent weeks, Israel has reportedly told the US it seeks a campaign that would significantly damage Iranian infrastructure, as The Zioneer reported on July 23, while US officials have cautioned against escalation.
The United States has been conducting its own strikes against Iran since June, and tensions between Washington and Jerusalem over the scope and pace of operations have been widely reported.
