Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz claimed Tuesday that US warplanes are taking off from Israel to carry out attacks on Iran.
“US fighter jets are taking off from Israel to launch attacks on Iran, and the Iranians know that,” Katz told Channel 14.
The defense minister said that Israel wants to attack Iranian energy targets, but the Israeli plan is opposed by Washington.
“We strongly want to attack Iranian energy targets, but the US does not agree to that at this stage,” Katz said, threatening to hit Iran in case of any attack by Tehran.
“If they fire at Israel, we will respond with full force. We are ready to strike Iran independently.”
