The Israeli military is preparing an enforcement plan to "ensure that Iran cannot return to threaten Israel", Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz told senior military officials.
He said the military must be prepared, both in intelligence and operations, to ensure Israel has air superiority and to prevent Tehran from reestablishing its previous capabilities.
He made his remarks following a 12-day air war between the longtime enemies in June, after Israel launched an air strike campaign on Iran, and Tehran retaliated with missiles and drones.
Israel and Iran agreed to a US-brokered ceasefire that ended hostilities on 24 June.
Israeli attacks killed 935 people in Iran, Tehran said, while Iran's attacks killed 28 people in Israel.
