After the IDF warned Iranians to evacuate military facilities in Iran, Defense Minister Israel Katz says the military “will strike the sites and continue to peel the skin off the Iranian snake in Tehran and everywhere, stripping it of nuclear capabilities and weapons systems.”
“The Iranian dictator is turning Tehran into Beirut and its residents into hostages for the sake of his regime’s survival,” he adds.
