Israel says Iran war could restart 'within two days,' Mojtaba Khamenei 'marked for death'
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Monday that Israel could find itself at war with Iran "within two days" if Iran fires missiles at Israeli territory, adding that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was a target, according to reports.
Speaking to reporters about scenarios in which the war with Iran could resume, Katz said one possibility was that President Donald Trump decides negotiations have "run their course" and wants to resume strikes. The second, he said, is that "Iran attacks us," Ynet reported.
"If Iran attacks, that is the third Iran war. The situation is very clear," Katz said.
"There is no reality in which Israel will allow missile fire at its territory without responding with force. It could happen within two days," he said.
"My directive to the IDF is to prepare for a blue-and-white operation in Iran."
Asked about Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei and Katz said he was "marked for death," the outlet reported.
