The Biden administration is concerned that Iran may strike Israel after the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, a US official tells CNN.
The official says that preparations for a joint defense are underway, and the outlet says this includes “changes in US military posture.”
No further details are given.
In April, a coalition including the US, UK, Gulf states, Egypt and Jordan helped Israel to almost completely thwart an unprecedented missile and drone attack by Tehran.
