An Iranian attack on Israel would release the IDF “from any restrictions,” Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Thursday during a speech to Defense Ministry employees ahead of the Rosh Hashanah holiday, Walla reported.
“We will destroy all national, military, and civilian infrastructure in Iran, including energy infrastructure,” Katz threatened. “We will return Iran to the Stone Age.”
Katz emphasized that the Iranian regime “knows very well” why it has recently avoided attacking Israel.
“We attacked them with force,” Katz said. “We destroyed their nuclear program, we assassinated [former supreme leader] Khamenei, and we severely damaged their strategic capabilities.”
He added that the heavy economic pressure being applied by US sanctions against the Islamic Republic is “likely” to push the regime “to the brink of destruction.”
