Israel Channel 13 reported that Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), supported the renewal of the war with the Islamic Republic in a message to the senior commanders of the IDF.
According to this report, Cooper believes that the third round of US attacks, including targeting bridges, power plants and economic infrastructure, could change the Islamic Republic's positions. He also communicated his views to senior US government officials.
This report was published while the IDF is preparing for the arrival of the third American aircraft carrier in the region. Earlier, the "Wall Street Journal" reported that Cooper and Pete Guest, the US Secretary of War, supported the return of large-scale military operations against the Islamic Republic.
