JERUSALEM, Jul 28: Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said Israel is eager to strike Iran’s energy infrastructure but claimed the United States is currently preventing such an attack due to concerns over a wider regional conflict and a potential global oil crisis.
Speaking to Israel’s Channel 14 television, Katz said, “We very much want to strike Iran’s energy targets,” adding that Washington’s opposition was linked to fears that Iran could retaliate against neighbouring countries.
“From our perspective, we are prepared to set Iran back 40 years,” Katz said, as tensions between Israel and Iran continue to raise concerns over a broader escalation in the region.
The comments come amid ongoing diplomatic and security efforts to prevent the conflict from expanding into a wider confrontation affecting regional stability and global energy markets.
