On Thursday Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said that Israel would respond directly to any attack by Iran.
According to the media reports, Gallant told U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, ‘A direct Iranian attack will require an appropriate Israeli response against Iran’.
‘The two discussed the United States iron-clad commitment to Israel’s security against threats from Iran and its proxies’, said the Pentagon.
It added that a visit by the top U.S. general for the Middle East, Army General Michael Erik Kurilla, to Israel had been moved up so he can meet with Israeli military leadership and discuss present security threats.
In recent months, Kurilla has been travelling to Israel regularly.
