Conversation between defense ministers

Meanwhile, the Pentagon reported a Thursday discussion between US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and his Israeli counterpart, Yoav Gallant. Topics of their conversation included "regional threats and Iran's destabilizing activities in the Middle East," as reported by various media outlets, including CNN and "The New York Times".
