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.

    Israel attacks Iran, then immediately tries to claim they’re the victim like every other fascist group.

    It’s fucking disgusting Biden is willing to risk letting trump win the election because Biden won’t stop supporting this genocide none of his voters want.

    He cares more about Israel than America.
