Israel said a direct Iranian attack will require an appropriate Israeli response against Iran.
Jerusalem:
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Thursday that Israel would respond immediately to any attack by Iran.
“A direct Iranian attack will require an appropriate Israeli response against Iran,” Gallant told US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, according to comments from his office.
The Pentagon said the two discussed the United States’ “iron-clad” commitment to Israel’s security against threats from Iran and its allies.
It added that a visit by America’s top general for the Middle East, Army Gen. Michael “Erik” Kurilla, to Israel had been brought forward so he could meet with Israeli military leaders and discuss “current security threats.” Kurilla has traveled regularly to Israel in recent months.
