Trump’s West Asia commander favours 2 weeks of ‘crippling’ strikes to force Iran’s surrender: Report

US Central Commander Admiral Brad Cooper proposed a two-week campaign of 'crippling' strikes to force Iran's surrender.

The plan involves 10 to 14 days of intensive bombardment to cripple Iran's missile capabilities.

Cooper argues the US must go beyond tit-for-tat strikes that have failed to deter Iran from threatening shipping and attacking US assets.

The proposal is questioned as the US military is running low on missiles and previous such campaigns have failed.

Iran's activities include threatening shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and attacking US bases, troops, and aircraft across West Asia.
