Katz Reveals U.S. Aircraft Launch Iran Strikes From Israel

Defense Minister Israel Katz disclosed Tuesday that U.S. aircraft and refueling tankers are taking off from Israel for strikes on Iran, information previously barred from publication on security grounds. Speaking at a conference, Katz said Iran is firing at targets across the region but not at Israel despite knowing the American missions depart from here. He cautioned that this could change within an hour and said deterrence depends on Israel's response. Katz repeated that Israel would strike Iran with full force if attacked and said the IDF is prepared for a third round of strikes.
