American and Israeli officials: Iran is expected to launch an attack on Monday.
According to the AXIOS website, two U.S. officials said that U.S. Central Command Commander Kurilla arrived in the Middle East on Saturday local time. Three U.S. and Israeli officials said they expect Iran to launch an attack on Monday. Kurilla's trip to the Middle East was planned before the recent escalation of tensions between Israel, Iran and Hezbollah, and he will visit several Gulf countries, Jordan and Israel, but it is expected that he will use this visit to mobilize an international and regional alliance. U.S. and Israeli officials said they do not know whether Iran and Hezbollah will launch a joint attack or act separately. They also said they believe Iran and Hezbollah are still working to finalize their respective military plans and get political approval.
