US Army Central Command Commander General Eric Corilla will meet with Chief of Staff Halevi and Defense Minister Galant. Israel asked the US to send warning messages to the Iranians, and the two countries increased coordination on missile and UAV defense in preparation for an Iranian attack.
Israel is also preparing for the scenario of an unprecedented missile attack from Iranian territory. In such a scenario, Israel is expected to respond with its own attack against Iran. Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said today that Israel made a mistake when it killed Iranian General Mohammad Reza Zahedi who was commander of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards in Syria and Lebanon. The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Iraq spoke by phone last night with the Iranian foreign minister and discussed regional tensions with him. The four approached the Iran foreign minister after talks they had with President Biden's senior adviser on Middle East affairs, Brett McGurk, who asked them to convey a message to Iran.
