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.

    Your point would be much better made if you didn’t refer to childish nicknames like “Is(not)real.” If you do not think Israel should exist, there are better ways to say so. You are only undercutting what you’re trying to say.

    Furthermore, your point has nothing to do with mine, so it would have been better made if you had not made it in reply to me.
