Israel Katz Warns of Strikes on Iran's Nuclear Sites

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz warned that Iran's nuclear facilities are now 'more exposed than ever' to potential Israeli strikes, emphasizing a critical opportunity to eliminate the existential threat posed by Iran. Katz's statements followed Israel's recent military actions that significantly compromised Iran's missile defense systems. This escalation comes amid ongoing hostilities, including Hezbollah's rocket attacks on northern Israel, which injured seven people. While Katz advocates for a strong military response to Iran's nuclear program, former officials have cautioned against direct strikes, aligning with U.S. pressures to avoid provoking a larger conflict. The geopolitical landscape remains tense, with Iran vowing retaliation against Israeli actions. Additionally, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince has urged for an end to Israeli attacks, highlighting the complex regional dynamics at play.
