Senior US and Israeli generals held talks at the Pentagon on Friday amid rising tensions with Iran. Two US officials told Reuters on Sunday on condition of anonymity, UNN reports.
The officials did not provide details about the closed-door talks between US General Dan Kane, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Eyal Zamir, chief of staff of the Israeli armed forces. The meeting had not been previously reported.
