International Desk, June 14, 2025 : Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz has threatened to launch a devastating counterattack, vowing to “burn” Tehran if Iran persists with missile attacks on Israeli territory.
Speaking after a meeting with Israeli military leaders on Saturday (June 14, 2025), Katz warned that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s actions would force Tehran’s citizens to pay a “heavy price.” He accused Iran’s leadership of holding its people hostage and creating a situation where residents, particularly in Tehran, would face severe consequences for attacks on Israeli civilians. This was reported by U.S.-based outlet CNN.
Meanwhile, Iran has signaled its intent to continue attacks, according to Iran’s state-run news agency Fars, which quoted an unnamed senior military official. The official stated, “Last night’s limited actions will not mark the end of this conflict. These attacks will be painful and regrettable for the aggressors.”
Reports from Reuters, Al Jazeera, and the BBC, citing military sources, suggest that the conflict could escalate in the coming days, potentially spreading to Israeli-occupied territories and U.S. military bases in the region.
