CENTCOM Chief Suggests Stopping Iran Strikes
The commander of the U.S. Central Command (Centcom), Admiral Brad Cooper, emphasized that the air strike campaign carried out by the United States and Israel around the Strait of Hormuz has reached its maximum effectiveness, acknowledging that most of the targeted objectives have already been hit and that the remaining targets are now limited. Based on recommendations and consultations, Cooper advised halting the campaign, justifying that continuing it would not yield additional benefits and could threaten U.S. air defense capabilities due to a shortage of intercept missiles. Meanwhile, Iran and Oman are continuing their negotiations to reopen the strait for maritime navigation, maintaining a period of temporary calm, while the United States and Britain are studying the formation of an international coalition to protect maritime traffic in the region. The decision to stop the strikes comes after about two weeks of military escalation, amid comments suggesting that the goal of the operations was to limit Iran’s ability to attack ships in this strategic area.
