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

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.
