Zamir threatened: "We are ready to return and deliver another severe and deep blow to Iran." He added that the IDF will continue to operate and deepen the damage to Hezbollah and protect the northern settlements. "The IDF is alert and will act with force wherever we identify a threat to the citizens of the State of Israel," he emphasized.

Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir visited an exercise as part of the "Fire Series" taking place as part of commanders' training in the north of the country. "The Iranian attempt to set equations and change reality will fail. The strike we carried out in Iran was preparation for a much more significant and heavy blow."

Trump: Iran shot down an American helicopter – we must respond

***
Israel has been vindicated

Trump:

I have just been informed by our great army that last night the Iranians shot down one of our advanced Apache helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz.

Two pilots were involved, both are safe and unharmed.

However, the United States must respond to this attack.

I'm a bit confused: just two days ago Trump demanded that Israel not respond to Iran because there were no casualties. So why respond now?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned his security cabinet that Israel may reach a point where it has to confront Iran without US support, i24NEWS reported on Tuesday.

Speaking during a cabinet meeting on Monday, Netanyahu said Israel could face a situation in which it would have to “deal alone with the Iranians,” without American backing and with the costs that would entail, including shortages of munitions and growing international isolation.

“We do not want to get there, but we know we could get there,” Netanyahu was quoted as saying.

IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir also reportedly warned ministers against the emerging agreement with Iran, saying: “As we see it now, almost any agreement is a bad agreement.”

The i24NEWS report came a day after Axios quoted US President Donald Trump as saying he had warned Netanyahu that Israel could be left to fight Iran alone if its attacks escalated into a full-blown war.

Trump has become a mockery🤮🤡

Iran FM: Foreign forces near our territory are in constant danger due to their human errors, ordinary accidents, or the possibility of being caught in crossfire. To reduce the risk, the best solution is for them to leave. We prefer the language of diplomacy - but we also speak other languages

Fox News: United States President Donald Trump is on the verge of giving an order to carry out a significant operation in Iran, including airstrikes in the country.🤮🤡

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security: The Iranian team will be allowed to enter the country one day before their World Cup matches

Trump in response to an ABC network reporter's question whether Prime Minister Netanyahu will run for another term: "It's an open question. He is a prime minister during wartime, he had a great career, if he wants to continue"

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was instrumental in helping Israel secure Trump's green light to strike Iran two days ago.

US Army: We have started strikes in Iran in response to the downing of the American helicopter

Barak Ravid

Senior American official: American forces attacked several Iranian air defense and radar systems around the Strait of Hormuz.

CENTCOM: US Central Command forces have completed self-defense strikes against Iran under the supreme commander's orders in response to the downing of a US Army Apache helicopter yesterday. The forces attacked Iranian air defense sites, ground control stations, and radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz using precision munitions from US Air Force and Navy fighter jets. The operation was a proportional response to recent attacks on American forces and international commercial ships crossing regional waters. US forces remain alert and prepared to defend against unjustified Iranian aggression.
