Katz threatens to strike Iran's energy infrastructure if Iran attacks Israel

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that if Iran attacks Israel, Israeli forces will be 'free from all constraints' and will target Iranian infrastructure including energy facilities, saying the goal would be to return Iran to darkness. He linked the warning to economic pressure on Tehran and fears the regime could take desperate action.

Why this matters. A direct threat to Iranian energy infrastructure from Israel's defense minister raises the stakes for any Iranian retaliatory strike and signals Israel is prepared to escalate against oil and gas targets that underpin global energy-market stability.
