JAKARTA - Israeli Defense Minister Katz said on Thursday that Israel was "ready to continue the war against Iran," adding that his country was waiting for a green light from the United States to return Iran to the "Stone Age."
"The Israeli military is ready both defensively and offensively, and the targets have been marked," Katz said in a video statement, launching Al Arabiya and AFP (24/4).
"We are waiting for the green light from the United States, first and foremost to complete the elimination of the Khamenei dynasty and also to return Iran to the Dark Ages and the Stone Age by destroying key energy and electricity facilities and dismantling its national economic infrastructure," he added.
The US-Israeli opening attack on February 28 killed Iran's then-supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was later replaced by his son but has not appeared in public, raising speculation about his condition and whether he is still alive.
"This time, as the attacks continue, it will be different and deadly, adding a devastating blow to the most sensitive points - following the devastating attacks that the Iranian terror regime has suffered - which will shake and destroy its foundations," Katz boasted.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced an indefinite extension of the ceasefire between the United States and Iran, which took effect on April 8, to create space for talks with Tehran.
Plans for renegotiations in Pakistan are still uncertain.
