Israel threatens to bomb Iran into ‘the Stone Age’ –Defense Minister Israel Katz made the comment following the indefinite extension of an ongoing truce by the U.S. | 24 April 2026 | Israel is waiting for a go-ahead from the US to resume the campaign against Iran and bomb the Islamic Republic back to “the Stone Age,” Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has stated. The message comes after U.S. President Donald Trump extended the ceasefire with Tehran indefinitely on Tuesday to allow time for a potential deal, while keeping American naval blockade of Iranian ports in place. “Israel is prepared to renew the war against Iran,” Katz said on Thursday. “We are awaiting a green light from the United States…to complete the elimination of the Khamenei dynasty…and to return Iran to the Dark Age and the Stone Age” by destroying its key energy facilities and economic infrastructure, he said.
