Israeli Defence Minister Benny Gantz argued that “Iran is continuing to ignite the region with instability and chose to raise enrichment to 20 per cent… Everyone needs to join together in the fight against Iran, its regional terror activities and the threat of its nuclear armament”. Relatedly, an unnamed Iranian security official was cited by local media as saying that Israel “should be aware that any aggression against Iran’s interests and security from any side and in any way, whether [Israel] admits or denies responsibility, will face a decisive response from Iran”.
