Foreign Minister Israel Katz says Iran’s message of an “obliterating war” makes it worthy of destruction.
”A regime that threatens destruction deserves to be destroyed,” Katz says in a post on X. He also says Israel will act with full force against Iran-backed Hezbollah if it does not stop firing at Israel from Lebanon and move away from the border.
Iran’s UN mission said on Friday that if Israel embarks on a “full-scale military aggression” in Lebanon, “an obliterating war will ensue.”
The Iranian mission also said in the post on X that in such an event “all options, incl. the full involvement of all resistance fronts, are on the table.”
