Pentagon officials said Friday that Israel has been shifted to the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility, delivering a major boost to allied efforts to counter the regional threat posed by Iran.
The Department of Defense (DOD) said in a Jan. 15 statement that Israel has been moved from the U.S European Command (EUCOM) area of responsibility—where the Jewish State was previously placed amid acrimony from America’s Arab allies—and into the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility.
