Israeli official said to threaten ‘Operation Rising Lion on steroids’ if Iran attacks
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChannel 12 cites an unnamed senior Israeli official who warns Iran against targeting the Jewish state, saying the response to such an attack would be “Operation Rising Lion on steroids.”
“Rising Lion” is the name Israel gave to its June 2025 strikes on Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs, which also saw the IDF decimate Tehran’s air defenses.
The network cites another Israeli official who speculates that today’s talks between the US and Iran in Oman will not lead to an agreement, as the gaps between the sides are too large.
