Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz says Israel could target Iran again “if it deems it necessary”, despite ongoing US efforts to pursue diplomacy, Al Jazeera reports.

Speaking at a memorial ceremony for those killed in the 2006 war in Lebanon, Katz says: “We have attacked twice with proactive, preemptive strikes in Iran and, if necessary, we will strike a third time as well.”
