Eyal Zamir, the Chief of Staff of the Israeli military, has indicated preparations for further strikes against Iran. During a visit to a command training facility in northern Israel on June 9, Zamir stated, "The Israeli military is ready to resume operations within Iran."
According to Israeli media outlets i24 News and The Times of Israel, Zamir remarked, "Iran's attempts to create new rules of engagement and change the reality will fail." He described recent Israeli attacks on Iran as preparations for "much more significant and powerful strikes."
Zamir added, "We are prepared to deliver another harsh and deep blow to Iran," emphasizing that the Israeli military is maintaining an immediate readiness to resume operations in Iran.
He also addressed operations on the Lebanese front, stating, "The Israeli military is dismantling Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon and targeting sites, including underground facilities in the Bofort area."
Recently, the Israeli military attacked Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, prompting Iran to launch missiles in retaliation. Although both sides have avoided large-scale further attacks, the Israeli military remains open to the possibility of renewed Iranian strikes.
U.S. President Donald Trump has recently mentioned the possibility of negotiations with Iran, urging Israel to exercise restraint in its retaliatory actions. Zamir's comments come amid ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and Iran.
