Defense Minister Benny Gantz is currently meeting with US Central Command chief General Michael Kurilla in Tampa, Florida.

The two are expected to discuss ways to increase cooperation between Israel and the US military, as well as methods of countering the Iranian threat in the Middle East, as nuclear negotiations between Tehran and world powers come to a head.

Gantz is set to discuss with Kurilla Israeli-American military cooperation on Iran under a scenario where a deal is reached and one where it is not.
