JERUSALEM: Iran is at a disadvantage that can be exploited in the future after Israeli airstrikes over the weekend, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Monday.
“You have conducted accurate strikes on their radars and air defense systems, which creates a huge disadvantage for the enemy when we will want to strike later,” a statement released by Gallant’s office quoted the defense minister as saying during a meeting with air force chiefs.
“You have also damaged their production capabilities, which changes the balance of power. Their supplies are now set, and this affects their calculus. Both their attack and defensive capabilities have been weakened.”
Iran has said Saturday’s airstrikes caused limited damage. A spokesperson for Iran’s foreign ministry said on Monday that Tehran would “use all available tools” to respond.
Israel’s air strikes responded to an Iranian missile attack on Israel on Oct. 1.
