The Israeli ambassador to the US has cautioned there are still “surprises up our sleeves” in the fight against Iran — as President Trump issued his own ominous warning that Israel wouldn’t be slowing its attacks anytime soon.
“Expect a surprise later this week,” Yechiel Leiter told Merit TV on Monday.
“Let’s just say the world will understand how serious we are about stopping Iran’s capabilities — and not just in Gaza or southern Lebanon.”
The envoy didn’t elaborate on the plans but noted it would likely make the Israeli’s infamous move to detonate thousands of Hezbollah pagers in Lebanon late last year “look simple.”
“There’s still a lot of things we can do,” Leiter said.
“We’ve pulled off a number of surprises. When the dust settles, you’re going to see some surprises on Thursday night and Friday, that will make the beeper operation almost seem simple.”
Leiter added that Trump wasn’t putting pressure on the Jewish state to curb the fighting.
It came as Trump echoed the warning and urged ““everyone to evacuate” Tehran late Monday as Israel appeared to expand its air assault.
“You’re going to find out over the next two days,” Trump said when asked if Israel would halt its onslaught.
“You’re going to find out. Nobody’s slowed up so far.”
