Israeli Defense Minister Katz threatens Iran

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz gave a speech at the Israeli Air Force pilot course graduation ceremony.

Making threatening remarks toward Iran, Katz said, "This graduation ceremony is a direct message to the dictator [Ali] Khamenei and the gang of Ayatollahs in Iran: Israel's long arm will reach you in Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan, and everywhere you try to threaten and harm Israel. There is no place you can hide. If we need to return, we will return with greater force."

"A MOMENT WE PROVED TO THE WORLD"

Speaking at the ceremony, Israeli Chief of General Staff Eyal Zamir referred to the 12-day war with Iran, stating, "This was a moment when we proved both to ourselves and to the world that when the people of Israel are threatened, we know how to unite, take action, and strike with precision, power, and responsibility."

"WE ARE READY TO TAKE ACTION"

Israeli Air Force Commander Major General Tomer Bar also said in his speech at the ceremony, "We overcame the challenge at a distance of 1,800 kilometers and turned Iran from a 'third-ring' country into a 'first-ring' country. The struggle is not over yet. We are ready to take action when necessary."
