Iran's Islamic Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf criticized Israeli Defense Minister Katz's remarks as "nonsense" via social media on the 24th (local time). Speaker Ghalibaf stated, "The reason they are angry and that criminal minister is talking nonsense is because we are united around our leadership, and this has completely thwarted their schemes." Previously, Minister Katz claimed in a video statement on the 23rd that Israel is ready to resume military operations against Iran, is awaiting US approval, and is prepared to deliver "destructive blows" to Iran's "most vulnerable points" to completely remove the Iranian regime.
