Israel’s Foreign Minister has launched what he called a “diplomatic offensive” against Iran following the major Iranian attack on Israel.
“This morning I sent letters to 32 countries and spoke to dozens of foreign ministers and leading figures around the world,” he said. Israel Katz wrote on the X platform, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday.
He called for sanctions against Iran’s missile program and for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to be declared a terrorist organization. Katz believes these measures would help slow down and weaken Tehran.
“Iran must be stopped now – before it is too late,” he wrote.
Katz wrote that Israel’s diplomatic campaign against Iran must be accompanied by a military response to Tehran’s attack with more than 300 missiles, cruise missiles and drones. Israel and the allied defenses intercepted almost all the incoming fire.
Israel’s military leadership has indicated it has no intention of letting Saturday evening’s major Iranian attack go unanswered.
Iran said it was in retaliation for a suspected Israeli attack on an Iranian diplomatic compound in Syria that killed two Iranian generals and five officers.
