Israel's Defense Minister Says Military Action Severely Weakened Iran

According to Jin10, Israel's Defense Minister Katz said he believes Israel's military action has severely weakened Iran and that Israel has also benefited strategically. He said, "We eliminated the existential threat from Iran, removed Khamenei, thwarted their strategic capabilities, and set them back decades." He added that although there were casualties on Israeli soil, the overall balance of gains and losses was favorable, saying the casualties could have been much worse, that Israel dismantled their launch capability, and that its most dangerous enemy was badly hit and is now clearly weaker.
