Israel Ready to Resume Military Operations Against Iran, Says Defense Minister
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that Israel remains prepared to resume military operations against Iran, stating that the nation's mission in the region is not yet complete. Speaking to the Kan national broadcaster, Katz emphasized the possibility of taking action in the near future. This statement follows a previous declaration on April 23, where Katz indicated that the Israeli military was awaiting approval from the United States to restart hostilities, warning of intentions to severely damage Iran's economy. The context involves a broader conflict scenario where the US and Israel reportedly launched a war against Iran on February 28, followed by a mutual ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump on April 7. Despite the ceasefire, Katz's recent remarks suggest that tensions remain high and that Israel retains the option to escalate military engagement if deemed necessary. The announcement underscores the fragile nature of the current truce and the ongoing strategic calculations between Israel, Iran, and the United States regarding regional security and military objectives.
