The IDF spokesperson revealed the "Iranian plan to destroy Israel." The statement said that "for years, the Iranian regime has been promoting direct and indirect terrorism against the State of Israel through the development of nuclear weapons, advanced and long-range missiles with warheads, and funding and directing terrorist proxies throughout the Middle East. Over recent years and especially since the beginning of the war, the Intelligence Division has collected and analyzed numerous intelligence materials pointing to a concrete plan by the Iranian regime aimed at 'destroying Israel'." It was further reported that "alongside the Iranian regime's efforts to obtain nuclear weapons, the regime is engaged in producing tens of thousands of missiles and UAVs and advancing plans for a combined ground attack from multiple fronts simultaneously."
