Israeli Minister Warns of Large-Scale Iranian Attack

 

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has informed U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin that Iran is preparing for a significant military assault on Israel. Axios reporter Barak Ravid revealed this information, citing a source with knowledge of the call.
