Israel's Defense Minister: War with Iran Enters 'Decisive Phase'

Israel's Defense Minister, Israel Katz, stated that the Israeli-American war against Iran is “intensifying and entering a decisive phase” that will continue for as long as necessary. Katz called on the Iranian people to overthrow the regime, while congratulating Donald Trump for the strike carried out by the US military on the Iranian oil island of Kharg. He emphasized that the American attack was the appropriate response to the mines in the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian attempts at blackmail. Additionally, he stated that the Israeli air force continues its attacks against Tehran and Iran, accusing the country of regional and global terrorism.
