Israel awaits U.S. approval to 'send Iran back to the Stone Age,' as Tehran activates air defense missiles. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that Israel is 'ready to resume war with Iran,' adding that the country is waiting for U.S. approval to 'send Iran back to the Stone Age.' 'The Israeli military is fully prepared for both defense and offense, and targets have been marked,' Katz said in a video statement. 'We are waiting for the green light from the U.S. to first eliminate the Khamenei regime. Additionally, by destroying critical energy and power infrastructure and dismantling its national economic foundations, we will drag Iran back to the dark ages and the Stone Age,' he added. When the attacks resume, 'it will be different and deadly,' Katz also warned. Meanwhile, Iran's Nour News and Mehr News Agency reported that air defense missile systems have been activated in parts of Tehran, though no reasons or incidents were specified in the reports.
