Report: Israel vowing to strike Iran even if its attack causes no casualties in Israel
Israel has in recent days conveyed messages to the United States and several European countries that any direct attack by Iran will be answered by an Israeli strike on Iranian territory, according to Army Radio.
The unsourced report says Jerusalem has clarified that it is determined to attack Iran even if a potential attack doesn’t cause any casualties in Israel.
The messaging is said to be aimed at preempting pressure from the international community to avoid responding forcefully to an Iranian attack.
