Israel’s Defense Ministry Director-General Amir Baram warned on Monday that future clashes with Iran are inevitable despite what he described as Israel’s “victory” in the June confrontations. “[It] ended in a clear Israeli victory, but there will be additional rounds against Iran,” he noted. Speaking at a Finance Ministry conference, Baram said Tehran remains humiliated and is pouring resources into defense and force-building, making further confrontations likely. Baram explained that the ministry works on “three time horizons”: immediate procurement, readiness for the next decade, and long-term development of advanced systems. Despite some canceled contracts, Baram revealed that Israel signed $2.5 billion in new defense export deals last week, adding that many governments continue to prioritize long-term military investment amid global instability.
