Israel's Defense Minister: We Will Strike Iran Again If Threats Arise  - 1

Israel will strike Iran again if threatened by Tehran, Defense Minister Israel Katz said, quoted by Reuters, BTA reports.

"Israel's long arm will reach you in Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan and anywhere from where you try to threaten or harm Israel. There is no place to hide," Katz said at a graduation ceremony for air force officers, his office said in a statement.

"If we have to retaliate, we will do so with greater force".

In June, Israel launched a 12-day air war against Iran that raised fears of a wider regional conflict, Reuters recalls. The two sides accepted a U.S.-brokered ceasefire announced by President Donald Trump on June 23.

Israel has carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, citing concerns that Tehran is close to developing a nuclear weapon - something Tehran denies. The United States has joined the campaign by striking Iranian nuclear sites.
