US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth tells Israel, "Continue to the end we are with you"

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth tells Israel to "continue to the end." Iran threatens to target Israel's Dimona nuclear site in escalating conflict.

"Continue to the end, we are with you. - US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth"

Jerusalem, March 5

Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz has spoken to his American counterpart, the US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, his office told the Times of Israel, the publication reported on Thursday.

According to a readout from the defence minister's office, Katz condoled the death of six US service members who were killed in Iranian attacks, "and noted that Israel is doing and will continue to do everything to assist in protecting the safety of US troops in the region."

"Katz asked to thank US President Trump for the great support for Israel and noted that the cooperation between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu against Iran is changing regional and global history," the statement said.

Katz also thanked Hegseth "for his great support for Israel and for the extensive assistance in defending the citizens of the State of Israel against the Iranian missile threat, and noted the close and unprecedented cooperation between the militaries to achieve all of the war's objectives."

The defence minister's office further told the Times of Israel that Hegseth "praised the unprecedented cooperation between the militaries and the capabilities of the IDF" and told Katz: "Continue to the end, we are with you."

Meanwhile, Iran today threatened to target the Dimona nuclear site if Israel and the US sought to topple the Islamic Republic. This follows an open threat from Israel's Defence Minister, Katz, who had said that any new leader brought in by the regime will be a legitimate target for elimination.

Iran's IRGC also said today that it has launched the nineteenth wave of Operation 'True Promise 4' as a combined missile and drone operation, according to the IRGC Public Relations.

According to the IRGC PR, "This operation against the positions of American-Zionist terrorists in the heart of the occupied territories and American terrorist bases began with massive explosions under the blessed code name 'Ya Hassan ibn Ali (peace be upon him)."

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps earlier announced that it had carried out strikes against Israeli and American targets across the region, according to Iranian state broadcaster Press TV.

In a statement on Wednesday (local time), the IRGC said the latest wave of attacks came on the fifth day of the operation, which Tehran says was launched in response to what it called "unprovoked aggression" by Israel and the United States.

The force claimed that more than seven advanced radar systems belonging to the United States and Israel had been destroyed, describing the strikes as having "blinded the eyes" of the two countries' surveillance network in the region.

The US telling Israel to "continue to the end" is worrying. What is the end? Complete destruction of Iran's capabilities? Regime change? This feels like a proxy war where ordinary people on all sides will suffer the most. India should advocate for an immediate ceasefire and dialogue. 🇮🇳

Honestly, as an Indian, my primary concern is Chabahar Port and our energy security. A conflict like this directly threatens both. We have good relations with Israel and need to maintain ties with Iran for strategic reasons. It's a very tightrope walk for our foreign policy experts.

The loss of any service member is tragic. Condolences to the families of the six US troops. However, the unwavering support for Israel's military objectives, without equal pressure for a political solution, seems short-sighted. This cycle of violence helps no one in the long run.

Iran threatening Dimona is crossing a major red line. The region is sitting on a powder keg. While India has stayed neutral, we cannot afford to be silent spectators. Our voice for peace and stability needs to be louder on the global stage. Jai Hind.

The article mentions "changing regional and global history." That's exactly what worries me. A new, more aggressive US-Israel alliance against Iran could reshape alliances in the Middle East, forcing countries like India to pick sides. We must strengthen our strategic autonomy.
