  "account": "Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz has stated that the mission against Iran remains unfinished, as Iran continues to pursue nuclear weapons and poses a threat to Israel's security. Katz warned Hezbollah, Iran's Lebanese ally, to refrain from joining Iran in any future attacks against Israel, threatening severe retaliation. This comes after Israel's major bombing campaigns against Iran in recent years. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is under political pressure, has repeatedly threatened new strikes against Iran but the extent of US support remains uncertain. Despite Netanyahu's actions, the Israeli military's chief, Gadi Eisenkot, has cautioned the military against waging war for political purposes, citing Netanyahu's lack of mandate.",
  "summary": "Israel Katz renewed charges that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons, a claim that Tehran denies.",
