On Monday, the head of US Central Command (CENTCOM), Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, met with Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi in Tel Aviv as the two militaries are preparing to defend Israel from an expected Iranian reprisal attack.
Kurilla also met with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who said the visit from the CENTCOM chief demonstrates strong US support for Israel. “Your arrival in Israel at this time is a direct translation of US support for Israel into action,” Gallant said. “The relationship between Israel and the United States is unshakable.”
Kurilla’s visit came after the US announced the deployment of new warships and warplanes to the Middle East for the purpose of helping defend Israel. It’s unclear when Iran is planning to launch an attack, but it could happen any day. Israel is also considering launching a “preemptive strike,” which would escalate the situation even more.
Also on Monday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said that Tehran does not seek regional escalation but that it must “punish” Israel for killing Ismail Haniyeh on Iranian soil and that an Iranian response was inevitable.
“Iran seeks to establish stability in the region, but this will only come with punishing the aggressor and creating deterrence against the adventurism of the Zionist regime,” said Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani.
The US has shown strong support for Israel in the wake of the Israeli killing of Haniyeh, immediately pledging to defend Israel from any consequences it might face. US officials claim they seek de-escalation, but US military aid and political support has only emboldened Israel to escalate.
If CENTCOM is helping Israel, Israel is doomed. CENTCOM can't find its ass with both hands.
By coordinate, they mean taking their marching orders. I just hope they don’t pull another U.S.S. Liberty on them.

After reading another anti-war.com article describing the dumping of a truckload of dead and decomposing Palestinian bodies in Gaza, there is no limit to what the hideous "state of israel" will do. A full 96% of jews in israel are in full support of ben-gvir, smotrich, netanyahu and the rest of the inhumane excuses for humanity.
Ironclad, unshakable, our enduring ally. How they protest too much. The alliance we endure because we are clad in irons will be shaken.
"… as the two supporters of genocide are preparing to defend Murderers of women and children from a righteous Iranian reprisal attack, following an attack launched against Iran by said murderers …"

C'mon Iran, you're fucking up the master plan. Now you're going to make Israel do a preemptive attack. No wonder they call you terrorists./s
