CENTCOM Chief Recommends Halting Hormuz Bombing — Strikes 'At Limit of Effectiveness'

🎖️ CENTCOM — The general is telling Trump the bombs have done what bombs can do. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Cooper's recommendation signals a strategic ceiling: 14 nights of strikes degraded Iranian capacity without forcing a deal, and further bombing yields diminishing returns. This shifts leverage from military to diplomatic — but Tehran is already rebuilding. If Trump accepts, the pause becomes policy, not pause. If he overrides Cooper, civil-military friction enters the negotiation at the worst moment.
