Katz Threatens Iran and Israel Awaits Trump's Green Light

Translation SadaNews - Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, threatened on Thursday evening to deliver decisive strikes to Iran.

This came during a security assessment he conducted with senior leaders of the Israeli army, asserting that his forces are ready for any scenario, according to SadaNews translation.

Hebrew media gathered in their main broadcasts this evening, indicating that Israel is awaiting approval from U.S. President Donald Trump to engage in confrontation with Iran.

Trump previously told Axios that if Israel asks to enter the battle, it will do so within two minutes, but he currently does not favor that, threatening to carry out strong strikes against Iran.

According to the Hebrew channel Reshet Kan, Israel is waiting for Trump's approval to attack Iran and is prepared to do so, SadaNews translated.

It indicated that Israel also seeks the green light to attack other targets that have not yet been targeted, such as energy facilities, noting that this could lead to missile launches from Iran towards Israeli territory.

It highlighted efforts by Gulf countries to reach a political agreement to halt mutual attacks.

Meanwhile, Channel 13 reported that Israel is in a state of high alert and is preparing for a potential major escalation, pointing out that there are Western estimates that Iran may begin attacking Israel.

The channel quoted an Israeli security official stating that Iran has prepared missiles and is ready to launch them at any moment towards Israel.

He noted that there are currently no unusual instructions for the Israeli public, which remain as usual.

Several municipalities opened shelters today in anticipation of an Iranian attack amid discussions of possible large-scale American strikes.
