Israeli media, including the Times of Israel, reported that Israeli intelligence assets played a key part in the search-and-rescue. The Israeli Air Force also provided indirect support by postponing planned strikes in nearby areas while U.S. forces conducted the recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Katz issued a stern warning to Tehran, saying that continued missile attacks aimed at Israeli civilians would force Iran to \u201cpay a heavy price,\u201d including significant damage to its national infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>He accused Iran\u2019s petrochemical sector of funneling substantial funds to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in recent years, money that he said was diverted into missile development. Katz framed those transfers as the rationale behind Israel\u2019s strikes on petrochemical facilities inside Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts say Katz\u2019s comments underscore close military coordination between Israel and the United States and reflect an effort to increase pressure on Iran amid rising regional tensions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israel&#8217;s Defense
