Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant told visiting US top diplomat Antony Blinken that his government expects Washington's support when it attacks Iran in response to a missile strike earlier this month.

"The United States' stance with Israel following our attack on Iran will strengthen regional deterrence and weaken the axis of evil," Gallant said according to a statement from his office, referring to Tehran-aligned armed groups in the Middle East, after Israel has vowed retaliation for the October 1 missile attack.
