Israel expects US support after it launches attack on Iran, defence minister says

Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant telegraphed that Israel is moving ahead with plans to attack Iran and expects US support after its attack. 

Gallant delivered the remarks in a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, according to Gallant's office.

“The United States’s stance with Israel following our attack on Iran will strengthen regional deterrence and weaken the axis of evil,” the statement said.
