Israeli Minister of Economy Nir Barkat said Iran is a “legitimate target” for Israeli missile strikes as it continues its three-month war with Hamas.

Barkat boasted of Israel’s military capabilities for an all-out war against Iran and the Lebanese Hezbollah, arguing that Israel has not been aggressive enough in its response to the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack, which Israel believes was facilitated to some degree by Iran.
