Israel and US Defense Chiefs Address Rising Tensions with Iran

As tensions escalate over Iran's recent strike, Israel's Defense Minister Gallant is set to travel to Washington for crucial talks with US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. This meeting comes amidst accusations from Gallant directed at Prime Minister Netanyahu for hindering national security by delaying Gallant's trip to the US until after a talk with Biden. Despite the preparations for a potential attack on Iran, US officials indicate they have not received any briefings from Israel regarding their retaliation plans. Austin has reaffirmed the US's commitment to supporting Israel, while warning Iran of serious consequences should hostilities increase.
