CENTCOM chief ‘briefs Trump on military options for Iran’

The top commander of the US military’s Central Command has briefed Trump on military options for Iran, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Admiral Brad Cooper was joined by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dan Caine, according to the report.

Recent reports and direct statements from the US president have said he is weighing resuming major combat operations against Iran.

 Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said that meeting Tehran’s seven conditions is the only way to achieve progress in talks with the United States.

Ghalibaf said in a social media post that Iran’s conditions “have been repeatedly and clearly stated to the mediators”.

“The carrot-and-stick approach has no effect on Iran. Progress can only be achieved once Iran’s seven conditions have been agreed upon,” he added.
