Attached is the full translation:
Iran funds, equips and arms terror branches across the Middle East and beyond.
Iran supports the terror organization Hamas that started this war on October 7. Iran supports Hezbollah that widened the war on October 8, and since then Iran – that supports militias in Iraq and Syria, and the Houthis in Yemen – has expanded the war into a global conflict.
Iran is the world’s greatest financier of terror. Iran’s terror network not only threatens the citizens of Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria; the regime in Iran is fueling the war in Ukraine and beyond.
Iran will face consequences if it chooses to escalate the situation further.
The State of Israel is on high alert. We have increased our readiness to defend the State of Israel from further Iranian aggression. We are also prepared to respond.
The Israel Defense Forces is prepared for all scenarios and will take the necessary steps – together with our allies – to protect our people.
