No Deal with Iran? Israeli Minister Warns of Possible Strikes

A senior Israeli official has warned that military action against Iran is possible if diplomatic efforts fail. Israel Katz, the country's energy minister, stated bluntly, "If there is no deal, Iran can be hit." His comments refer to ongoing international attempts to limit Iran's nuclear program. The remark highlights Israel's stance. It views a nuclear-armed Iran as an unacceptable threat. Katz did not specify what a "deal" would require. He also did not give a timeline. However, his language signals that Israel's military option remains active. International negotiations with Iran have stalled for months. Israel has repeatedly stated it will act alone if necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
