US Considers Two-Week Air Strike Campaign Against Iran's Missile Infrastructure

US Considers Two-Week Air Strike Campaign Against Iran's Missile InfrastructurePreviousNext

US Central Command chief Admiral Brad Cooper has proposed a two-week air strike campaign targeting Iran's missile infrastructure to force its surrender, aiming to significantly weaken Tehran's capabilities. This plan marks a potential escalation from previous strikes but faces questions about its effectiveness given past assessments that Iran retained much of its missile arsenal. President Donald Trump is considering this option alongside more limited military responses that would keep diplomatic avenues open, with no final decision announced.
