Defense Minister Yoav Gallant briefed US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on the success of Israel’s strikes on Iran and discussed “strategic opportunities” that may have arisen, Gallant’s office says.
“Gallant discussed initial assessments regarding the success of the strikes against missile manufacturing facilities, surface-to-air missile arrays and Iranian aerial capabilities,” it says.
“Minister Gallant also discussed the strategic opportunities that have risen as a result of operational achievements, in both the northern and southern arenas,” the statement says, referring to fighting in Lebanon and Gaza.
