The United States military repositioned two destroyers Friday in the Middle East to help defend Israel and American forces in the event of a highly anticipated retaliatory attack from Iran , The Wall Street Journal reported.
The tactical moves came amid a warning from someone familiar with the timing and location of an attack by Iran, the Journal reported. However, Iran said no final decision had been made, according to the report. Gallant on Friday also met with Army Gen. Erik Kurilla, head of U.S. Central Command, to discuss the possible Iranian attack.
Reports of an imminent retaliatory strike by Iran have been persistent since. White House national security spokesman John Kirby said Friday that Iran’s threats remain “real” and "viable.”

Goods destined for Palestine are required to be labelled for Israel or include the phrase "via Israel." In addition, Israel does not recognise legal relations between Palestine and third countries, while it refuses to allow commercial transactions through the Rafah Border Crossing with Egypt. As a result, trade between third countries and Palestine is logged overwhelmingly as trade with Israel in data reflected in national statistics.
