Ahead of Rosh Hashanah, a sharp warning was issued today to the Iranian leadership, alongside a greeting to the Jewish community in Iran and the Iranian people. The message clarified that any attack against Israel will be met with a severe response, which may also include striking Iran's central energy facilities.

"Ahead of Rosh Hashanah, I want to send a Shana Tova greeting to the Jewish community in Iran and wish them a good and safe year. You are part of a glorious Jewish history and will always be in our hearts," the statement read. Alongside this, a message was also directed to the Iranian public: "Next year in Tehran, liberated from oppression and tyranny."

Subsequently, a warning was issued to the leadership in Tehran against the backdrop of "the economic chokehold and heavy pressure Iran is currently under.Any attack on Israel for any reason and in any place will be met with a powerful response — striking Iran with severe blows it has not yet suffered to this day, including its central energy facilities," it was stated.

It was further noted that, in accordance with the Prime Minister's directives, the IDF is on high alert: "The IDF is alert and ready to carry out the mission." According to the announcement, a broad Israeli strike could "set Iran back decades" and further destabilize the ayatollah regime.

The remarks concluded with a new year blessing to the Jewish people in Israel and worldwide: "Shana Tova — and may our enemies, haters, and all those who seek our harm depart."
