Odaily News According to the AXIOS website, two US officials said that the commander of the US Central Command, Kurilla, arrived in the Middle East on Saturday local time. Three US and Israeli officials said they expected Iran to launch an attack on Monday. It is reported that Kurilla's trip to the Middle East was planned before the recent escalation of tensions between Israel, Iran and Hezbollah. He will visit several Gulf countries, Jordan and Israel, but he is expected to use this visit to try to mobilize international and regional coalitions. US and Israeli officials said they did not know whether Iran and Hezbollah would launch a joint attack or act separately. They also said that they believed that both Iran and Hezbollah were still working to finalize their respective military plans and approve them at the political level. (Jin Shi)
