IDF chief Zamir and CENTCOM commander Cooper coordinate on Iran and Lebanon enforcement

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir met US Central Command chief Admiral Brad Cooper to align on Israeli rules of engagement against Hezbollah ceasefire violators and on conditions for the Lebanese Armed Forces to take over areas inside the security zone. The two militaries are the joint enforcers of the new framework; Cooper's command also handled the response to Iran's Strait of Hormuz drone strike days earlier. The session reinforced what Israeli officials describe as a close strategic relationship anchoring Israel's northern posture.
