Foreign minister: An Iranian regime threatening us with destruction deserves destruction

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.”
