Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant confirmed in an interview with CNN that Israel is closely coordinating with the United States in its preparations to respond to Iran.

He stressed during his speech that Tel Aviv will make its decisions independently regarding this response.

Galant said that Tel Aviv has proven its ability to target both distant and nearby targets, vowing an "appropriate" response to any Iranian attack.

He added that all options are on the table regarding the "Israeli" response to the possible Iranian escalation.
