Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Thursday hosted CENTCOM Commander General Michael E. Kurilla at the ministry’s headquarters in Tel Aviv.
“The parties discussed developing regional challenges, with a focus on Iran’s malign activities in the Middle East region. This includes Iranian aggression in the maritime arena and the delivery of weapons to terror organizations and proxies in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, and the wider region,” an official statement said.
Gallant shared his concerns in regards to Iran’s progress in its nuclear program and aims to achieve nuclear military capabilities. The two officials also reiterated their commitment “to deepen the unique cooperation and intelligence-sharing between their respective militaries and defense establishments”.
