Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Thursday that the Israeli army is ready to resume attacks on Iran and is waiting for the green light from US President Donald Trump to “return Iran to the Stone Age” and “finish the work of eliminating the Khamenei dynasty.”

As the Times of Israel website explains, Kac was referring to Mojtaba Khamenei, the successor and son of the spiritual and political leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed at the end of March, whom the minister called “the initiator of the plan to eliminate Israel.”
Kac stressed that Israeli defense forces are ready for “offensive and defensive actions, with targets marked” to return Iran to the dark ages by destroying “major energy and electrical facilities and national economic infrastructure.”
This time the attacks will be different, deadly and will deliver devastating blows to the most sensitive targets (…), crushing the foundations of the Iranian terrorist regime, Katz added.
Israel and the US started a war with Iran on February 28, in which over 3,400 people have died. Iranians. Its consequences also include: Israel's war with Hezbollah, taking place in Lebanon, as well as Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which resulted in an increase in global oil prices.
President Trump extended a two-week truce in the war that was scheduled to end on Tuesday. He did not set a deadline for ending the ceasefire, but said he was extending it so Iran could present its own proposal for a peace deal. According to the media, Trump gave Tehran another 3-5 days. It is unclear what stage the preparations for the previously announced second round of US-Iranian peace negotiations in Pakistan are at. The media maintains that “good news” on this subject may come on Friday.
Iran did not officially react to Trump's extension of the truce. While extending the truce, he stipulated that the US would continue the blockade of Iranian ports. In parallel, Iran continues to restrict traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. (PAP)
