Wall Street Journal on US officials:
The commander of US Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper, informed Trump today about the existing military options against Iran, in the presence of the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Cooper rarely updates Trump personally on developments, which may indicate that the United States is close to taking large-scale military action against Iran.
In a related context, the US military is currently working on transferring another battery of the Patriot system to Israel, to improve its missile defense capabilities.
