Israel's Defence Minister, Israel Katz, has declared that the country is fully prepared to resume military operations against Iran, contingent on receiving a green light from the United States. Katz indicated that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are on high alert, ready for both defensive and offensive actions as tensions persist. He noted that future military operations could focus on weakening Iran's leadership structure and targeting critical infrastructure. Katz criticized Iran's leadership for prioritizing its survival over the welfare of its citizens, drawing parallels with groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. His comments come amid a fragile ceasefire and ongoing diplomatic efforts led by the United States. Analysts warn that any renewed conflict could involve targeted strikes, raising concerns about regional escalation and potential disruptions to global energy supplies. Israeli forces remain poised for rapid escalation based on developments in negotiations.
