Israel Prepares for Possible Military Action Against Iran, Awaiting U.S. Approval to Proceed

Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz stated on Thursday that the country is prepared to resume military operations against Iran and is awaiting authorization from the United States, signaling readiness for both offensive and defensive action as targets have already been identified.

Katz said Israel is “prepared for the renewal of the war against Iran – the IDF is prepared for defense and attack and the targets are marked. We are waiting for a green light from the United States – first and foremost to complete the elimination of the Khamenei dynasty and return Iran to the Age of Darkness and Stone.”

He warned that any future assault would be significantly more severe, stating: “The attack this time will be different and deadly and will add devastating blows in the most painful places – which will shake and collapse its foundations.”

These remarks come amid reports that recent U.S. And Israeli strikes have disrupted Iran’s leadership, with President Donald Trump asserting that Iranian officials “have a hard time figuring out who the hell can speak for the country” due to the elimination of multiple levels of leadership.

The developments follow a series of military actions in the U.S.-Israel campaign against Iran, including an early strike on an Iranian water desalination plant, which has contributed to the perceived degradation of Iran’s operational capacity and internal cohesion.
