Katz noted that the Iranian regime is aware of the consequences of previous strikes that damaged their nuclear program and strategic capabilities. He indicated that severe economic pressure and internal unrest could drive Iran toward desperate steps. Katz stated that the Israel Defense Forces are well prepared defensively and offensively for every possibility. Simultaneously, the administration announced that U.S. forces destroyed Iranian equipment along the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump suggested renaming the waterway the Trump Strait, asserting that the U.S. has it under control. These actions follow a U.S. Central Command operation targeting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities, including air-defense sites and radar installations, in response to Iranian attacks on commercial shipping and U.S. service members.
