In October 2026, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz disclosed details regarding joint military operations conducted by Israel and the United States against Iran. Katz identified two specific operations: “Rising Lion,” which he stated destroyed the Iranian nuclear program, and “Lion’s Roar,” a cooperative mission involving the use of precision-targeted one-ton explosive warheads. Katz noted that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the decision to strike targets located 2,000 kilometers away. By November 2026, Katz declared that the mission regarding Iran remains unfinished, accusing Tehran of attempting to renew efforts to acquire nuclear weapons. This follows reports that the military offensive launched in late February resulted in the deaths of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other high-ranking regime figures.
