US attack kills six Iranian navy personnel, Tasnim reports
US attack kills six Iranian navy personnel, Tasnim reports Six members of Iran’s navy were killed in a US attack this week, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
Defense Minister Israel Katz stated on Thursday that any Iranian attack on Israel would free the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) from any restrictions, according to Walla. During a speech to Defense Ministry employees ahead of Rosh Hashanah, Katz threatened to destroy all national, military, and civilian infrastructure in Iran, including energy resources, and to return Iran to the Stone Age.
He emphasized that the Iranian regime is well aware of the consequences of attacking Israel, as they have previously faced forceful retaliation, the destruction of their nuclear program, and severe damage to their strategic capabilities. Katz added that the economic pressure from US sanctions against Iran is likely to push the regime towards destruction.
The IDF is prepared for both defense and attack, Katz stated. His remarks followed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement that an attack by the Iranian regime would be one of their last decisions. Netanyahu addressed the ongoing fighting in Gaza and Iran's threats during a visit to a yeshiva in Sderot.
