“The era of proxies is over. The axis of evil has collapsed. You bear direct responsibility.”
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz: "The axis of evil has collapsed. What we did to Hezbollah in Beirut, Hamas in Gaza, Assad in Damascus, and the Houthis in Yemen - we will also do to you in Tehran."
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a sharp ultimatum to Iran after recent Houthi missile strikes on Israel, declaring, “The era of proxies is over. The axis of evil has crumbled. Iran, you are directly accountable.”
Katz vowed that continued attacks would trigger a crushing response against the Houthis and potentially Tehran itself, mirroring Israel’s decisive actions against Hezbollah in Beirut, Hamas in Gaza, and the Assad regime in Damascus.
“No one will harm Israel without facing severe retaliation,” he warned, signaling Israel’s readiness to confront threats head-on.
