Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Thursday that Israel would continue to act against Iran as circumstances required, while arguing that the government had authority to direct military operations without approval from the opposition or legal officials.

“We have also demonstrated resolve and sound judgment toward Iran, in full coordination with the IDF - and that will remain the case now, as circumstances require,” Katz wrote on X.

Katz said Israel’s security decisions would not wait for parallel political processes. He said the prime minister and defense minister direct the military, with the government responsible for security decisions under existing oversight.
