Israel warned that “Tehran will burn” when a wave of heavy strikes prepared in the Iranian capital, which Benjamin Netanyahu occupied as part of a campaign that could ultimately be reflected in the Islamic Republic.
The heads of the military and air waffles of Israel said on Saturday that they were ready to start bombing on Tehran after fighter planes had carried out waves of raids overnight to destroy the city’s air defense.
“The way to Iran was paved,” said Eyal Zamir, Israel’s top military officer, and Tomer Bar, the head of the air forces. This was followed by Israel Katz, the country’s defense minister and explained that Tehran would “burn” if Iran continued rocket attacks in urban areas.
A person familiar with the planning said that Israel could possibly also expand their business on the Iranian energy infrastructure, a decisive source of income for the regime.
The warnings After Netanyahu had instructed a public speech to the Iranian people on Friday evening, in which he asked them to stand up for their freedom against the regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“The aim of the Operation of Israel is to thwart the nuclear and ballistic rocket threat to the Islamic regime for us. If we achieve our goal, we also clear the way for you to reach your freedom,” he said. “The regime does not know what she has met or what she will meet.”
Last year Netanyahu said repeatedly that he wanted to “redesign” the Middle East. Israeli civil servants believe that their military successes against the Iranian allies in Lebanon and Syria have created the opportunity to attack Iran if it has been in its weakest position for years.
Israel’s hardening goals and indications that a change of regime was sought after an attack by Israel initiated by Israel on Friday that the Iranian nuclear program and the military leadership started.
The strikes primarily hit cities in the center and Westiran, in which most of the country’s military and nuclear facilities are located. In Tehran – a city with 10 million city – the strikes met houses of high -ranking regime officials residential areas, which led to significant civilian victims, including women and children.
Iran in retaliatory measures fired hundreds of ballistic rockets in Israel on Friday overnight. A high -ranking consultant of the commander of the revolutionary guard said that the Iran’s Larres had targeted 150 locations.
While most rockets were intercepted by Israel’s air defense, some made it through, with two people being killed in a strike in the city of Rishon Lezion, which damaged several houses, and another was killed in an attack on Tel Aviv.
The Iranian media quoted unofficial estimates that 78 people had been killed and injured in Iran since Israel on Friday.
The Israeli Air Force announced on Saturday morning that it would continue to carry out surface-surface rocket launchers in Iran.
Israel started his attack on Iran in the early morning hours of Friday and brought spiral tensions in the Middle East for almost two years, which has been in turbulence since Hamas’s attack.
Israeli civil servants said they had started the attack when Iran was dangerously close to producing a nuclear weapon, a scenario that they have long seen as an existential threat.
However, the Iranian officials denied looking for a bomb, and the recent threat assessment of the US secret service group this year came to the conclusion that Iran had not restarted the program of nuclear weapons in 2003 under international pressure.
However, Tehran has enriched uranium near the degree of weapons for several years and it is believed that they produce sufficiently splitting material in less than two weeks that is required for a nuclear weapon.
