Israeli Minister Orders Intensified Attacks on Iran Government Targets

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Friday that he had instructed the military to intensify attacks on "symbols of the regime" in the Iranian capital Tehran, aiming to destabilize it.

"We must strike at all the symbols of the regime and the mechanisms of oppression of the population, such as the Basij (militia), and the regime's power base, such as the Revolutionary Guard," Katz said in a statement.
