Israel Warns of 'Surprises' as It Prepares for Another War with Iran
Israel is preparing for further military confrontations with Iran, anticipating surprises that will require advances in defense and combat systems, according to a senior defense official.
Amir Baram, Director General of the Israeli Ministry of Defense, said the country should expect additional rounds of conflict with Tehran.
His comments follow Israel’s June airstrikes deep inside Iran, which targeted senior military commanders, nuclear scientists, Revolutionary Guard missile bases, and radar installations. Iran retaliated with a barrage of ballistic missiles against Israel.
Baram stated that the 12-day conflict ended with a decisive Israeli victory, but emphasized that future clashes with Iran are inevitable. He explained that Iran’s leadership remains intact, feels humiliated, and is channeling vast resources into defense and accelerating its military buildup.
To maintain Israel’s military edge, Baram outlined a three-stage strategy: short-term procurement and supply, medium-term readiness for the next decade, and long-term development of weapons systems capable of reshaping future battlefields.
