Israel’s defense minister has warned that if Iran attacks Israel, the country will target Iran’s energy facilities as well as other military and civilian infrastructure.
Al Jazeera reported on Thursday, September 3, that Israel Katz, Israel’s defense minister, said an Iranian attack would free Israel from any existing restrictions on launching attacks against Iran.
Katz threatened in a speech that, in the event of an Iranian attack, Israel would cripple the country’s national military and civilian infrastructure, including energy facilities.
He also said that Israel would return Iran “deep into the Stone Age and darkness.”
The threat comes as Israel had previously joined the United States in a war against Iran, but has so far not directly participated in the renewed conflict.
US President Donald Trump has also assured Israel that it should not be concerned about a resumption of the war with Iran.
