Israel’s foreign minister threatened Wednesday that his country’s forces would strike Iran directly if the Islamic Republic launched an attack from its territory against Israel, as tensions between the rival powers flare following the killings of Iranian generals in a blast at the Iranian consulate in Syria.

“If Iran attacks from its territory, Israel will respond and attack in Iran,” Israel Katz said in a post on X in both Farsi and Hebrew.

The remarks came after Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reiterated early Wednesday a promise to retaliate against Israel over the attack on its consulate in Damascus earlier this month.

    Do you know what SEAD means?

    I’m guessing not.

    Also my above comment above is not an ideological one but you’re responding like it is.

    Factually, Hezbollah is an order of magnitude quantitatively superior in their combat capability to Hamas.

    Similarly, Iran is an order of magnitude quantitatively superior to Hezbollah.

    Hezbollah accomplished SEAD against Israel in the north.

    Your 92% figure doesn’t apply to shots not taken because they can’t take then at all.

    I would also suggest that if Israel didn’t want Iran to take a shot at them, then Israel shouldn’t have violated the Vienna convention and bombed Iran’s embassy.

    That’s an insane level of provocation.
