Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar said in a statement Monday morning that Israel will strike Iran with great force, in a message posted via his the source. The remark follows a series of background statements by Israeli officials amid ongoing tensions with Iran.
Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar said Monday that 'Israel will strike Iran with great force,' according to a statement posted on his the source. The remarks mirror similar recent declarations by other Israeli officials, including Defense Minister Israel Katz, who said on June 10 at the Israel Security Award ceremony that the campaign against Iran 'is far from over' and that the IDF is ready to strike inside Iran with great force.
Zohar, who was the first cabinet member to publicly praise the overnight strikes on Iran on June 8, continues to take a hawkish public line. The statement comes against a backdrop of ongoing US-Iran military escalation, with US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also warning on June 10 that the US will 'hit Iran hard on American terms.'
No specific operational context or timing was provided in Zohar's latest statement.
