🔶 Senior Israeli officials emphasize readiness to continue the war with Iran

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Thursday, July 9 (18 Tir), that his country is prepared, if needed, to resume its military campaign against Iran, and he pledged to do so “with even greater force.”

The new remarks come as fresh fighting has broken out between the United States and Iran, raising fears of a return to a full-scale war after the ceasefire in Ordibehesht and the agreement in Khordad between the United States and Iran to end hostilities.

At a military ceremony, Katz said: “The army is prepared and on alert status to regain air superiority and strike again... in Iran to eliminate threats, including for the third time if necessary.” He added: “If we are forced to return, we will return, and that too with even more power.”
