Israel's defense minister announced that the country is ready to respond strongly if Iran attacks. This statement comes after Iran targeted U.S. military positions in the Middle East. The minister, Israel Katz, mentioned that Iran might attack Israel during the Jewish holiday season starting in mid-September, and Israel is prepared for such an event. Katz emphasized that if Iran does strike, Israel will respond with great force, acting independently. He noted that Israeli planes are ready for action. Recently, Iran's Revolutionary Guards attacked U.S. bases in several countries, marking a significant escalation in ongoing conflicts. Katz also pointed out that Iran has a history of attacking during Jewish holidays, reflecting their anti-Israel stance. He reassured that Israel is prepared both defensively and offensively, and they are coordinating with the United States. The situation is tense, especially since a ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran broke down after Iran attacked commercial ships in a strategic area known as the Strait of Hormuz.
