Israel declares decisive readiness to strike again, exposing Iran’s weakness and collapsing its failing regime structure.
Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz convened a high-level security assessment at the Kirya military headquarters with top defense leadership, including IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir and senior intelligence and operations officials, underscoring the seriousness of Israel’s next strategic phase against Iran.
Katz delivered a blunt and uncompromising message: Israel is fully prepared to resume war against Iran, with both defensive and offensive capabilities already in place and operational targets clearly defined. The only missing element, he emphasized, is the final authorization, particularly coordination with the United States.
He outlined an aggressive strategic objective that goes beyond conventional military response, signaling intent to dismantle the leadership structure of Iran’s ruling system. According to Katz, the focus includes neutralizing the Khamenei power structure and crippling the regime’s ability to function by targeting its core infrastructure, including energy grids and economic foundations.
Katz portrayed Iran’s regime as severely weakened, claiming its leadership is forced into hiding, struggling to maintain communication and control. He stressed that despite Tehran’s public claims of strength, its airspace is exposed and its critical national assets remain highly vulnerable.
Drawing comparisons with Hezbollah and Hamas, Katz argued that the Iranian leadership prioritizes its own survival over the well-being of its population, relying on internal repression through the Revolutionary Guards and Basij while leveraging global energy threats as a pressure tactic.
He concluded with a warning that any renewed Israeli operation would be significantly more intense and strategically damaging, designed to strike at the most sensitive pressure points and accelerate the collapse of what he described as an already shaken regime.
