The head of the U.S. Central Command has told a Congressional panel that the American military forces have crippled Iran's military and its ability to project power with lethal strikes during the Middle East war.
Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee in Washington as part of hearings related to force posture in the region and the command's portion of the fiscal year 2027 presidential budget request. The conversation on Capitol Hill focused largely on the successes of Operation Epic Fury, the code-name for the U.S. military operation against Iran.
