Israeli Defense Chief Tells Iran: Gaza’s Fate Could Be Yours

Newsis

Israel recently warned Iran, following its missile attacks, that it could face consequences similar to those seen in Gaza and Beirut. According to AFP and other sources, on Sunday, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, speaking at Nevatim Airbase, stated that Iran’s actions did not even scratch the capabilities of the Israeli military. He warned that if Iran believes it can deter Israel with such attacks, it should look at what is happening in Gaza and Beirut.

Gallant further highlighted Israel’s successes against Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, as the one-year anniversary of the war approaches. However, he stressed that the conflict is ongoing, and significant challenges remain. Israeli Chief of General Staff Herzi Halevi echoed this sentiment in an address to soldiers, noting that while Hamas’ military infrastructure had been weakened, Israel had yet to fully achieve its strategic objectives.

Meanwhile, amid growing speculation that Israel may retaliate against Iran’s oil and nuclear facilities, Iranian Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad visited the oil export terminal on Kharg Island in the Gulf region.

During his visit, Paknejad met with naval commanders from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to discuss ongoing efforts to secure Iran’s vital oil infrastructure. Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported that any Israeli action would undoubtedly provoke retaliation as tensions between the two countries continue to escalate.
