Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Iran is attempting to revive its pursuit of nuclear weapons, saying Israel must remain prepared to act against threats to its security.

Axar.az reports, citing i24 News, regarding Iran, Katz said “the mission is not yet complete” at a memorial ceremony for soldiers who fell in Operation Kadesh.

He accused Tehran of renewing efforts to acquire nuclear weapons while engaging in other activities that endanger Israel. “We cannot accept these threats,” he said.

Katz said Israel would pursue a proactive, offensive policy against its enemies and must be ready for any scenario. Protecting the country’s citizens, he added, requires taking whatever action is necessary.

“We have one country, one military, and a shared destiny—and the responsibility to safeguard them rests with us all,” he said.

He concluded by calling for “unity, responsibility and mutual commitment,” saying the tasks ahead would require both the strength of the Israel Defense Forces and the resilience of the public.
