Israel warns of 'overwhelming response' against a possible attack by Iran

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that in the event of an attack by Iran on Israel, an "overwhelming blow" will be delivered in retaliation. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's decision to call the security cabinet to a meeting on Friday also reveals the extent of the tension.

The Tel Aviv administration argues that Israel will not go to war and will not initiate a conflict unless it is subjected to any attack. This situation demonstrates that Tel Aviv is inclined to prevent a regional escalation, but will also not refrain from defending itself.

These successive statements by top officials confirm that the tension between the two countries is running at a very high level. The war of words between the parties keeps the possibility of a military conflict in the region on the agenda.
