Iran’s defense minister promised that an Israeli attack would result in Israel’s destruction, suggesting Iran would retaliate in the event of any bombing. Israeli officials have stated that they need to attack Iran before the summer if they are going to put an end to Iran’s nuclear program, because the country is moving its nuclear facilities underground. Additionally, on Friday, the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed in a report that Iran has increased production of higher-grade enriched uranium in recent months. But on Saturday, Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi warned, “A military attack by the Zionist regime will undoubtedly lead to the collapse of this regime.” He did not specify what form of Iranian retaliation would take.
