Israel's Katz Threatens to Send Iran 'Back Into Stone Age'

Israel Katz said Israel would strike Iran’s military and civilian infrastructure and cited rising economic pressure and holiday timing as possible triggers.

  • On Thursday, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz threatened Iran with a "massive response" if it attacks Israel, warning such an offensive would remove any existing constraints on military operations.
  • Israel is preparing for possible attacks during upcoming Jewish holidays, including Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, as Katz noted Tehran "likes to attack on holidays" citing previous Passover actions.
  • Katz warned that economic pressure could drive Tehran to "desperate measures," vowing to strike national military and civilian infrastructure to "send Iran deep back into the Stone Age."
  • The remarks sparked widespread outrage among Iranians, while President Donald Trump previously made a similar threat in April, stating he would "bring them back to the stone ages where they belong."
  • Earlier on Tuesday, the Defence Ministry announced that a senior Hamas militant was detained in Gaza City near Ashkelon, maintaining Israel's operational focus amid heightened regional tensions.
