Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz says Israel is prepared to resume military operations against Iran, describing the possibility of a “third time” if necessary. Speaking at a military ceremony, Katz said the Israeli army is ready and on alert to resume fighting to regain air superiority and conduct strikes in Iran aimed at eliminating threats. He indicated that any renewed action would be considered if Israel deems it necessary to address what it frames as security concerns related to Iran. Katz also said that if Israel needs to return to such operations, it would do so “with even greater force.” The statements are reported by multiple outlets and reflect Israel’s public readiness posture toward Iran rather than confirming any specific immediate operational decision. Both sources attribute the remarks to Katz and present them as part of Israel’s broader defence messaging.
