Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned on Sunday that Israel's mission against Iran is "not yet complete." Speaking at the state memorial ceremony for the fallen soldiers of Operation Kadesh at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, he said Iran is trying to renew its efforts to obtain nuclear weapons, alongside other serious activities that put Israel in real danger. "We cannot tolerate these threats," Katz said, calling for national unity and military readiness. Reports of his speech add that he said Israel would act as necessary to stop the danger.

The remarks come after US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in 2025 and 2026. Iran has long denied seeking nuclear weapons and says its nuclear program is peaceful. Katz did not offer public evidence for his latest claim, and the UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, said on October 27 that it had detected no Iranian efforts to repair or rebuild the damaged facilities, though its inspectors have limited access. That gap leaves the claim hard to verify independently. The key questions now are what Katz is basing his warning on, and whether Israel is preparing to strike again.
