U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander Admiral Brad Cooper testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee this week.
Admiral Cooper addressed the status of Operation Epic Fury. He stated, “In less than 40 days, CENTCOM forces achieved our military objectives. Most notably, we degraded Iran’s ability to project power outside its borders and threaten the region and threaten our interests.”
“Today, Iran can no longer attack with that mass and scale. And further, with 90% of its defense industrial base destroyed, Iran won’t be able to reconstitute those weapons for years,” the admiral continued. “The defense industrial base for their drones and their missiles in their navy were degraded by 90%; they have about 10% left. My military assessment would be that the [Iranian] navy will not begin to rebuild for five to 10 years.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For President Trump to seek God’s wisdom as he assesses the situation in Iran.
- For Secretary Hegseth, Chairman Caine, and Admiral Cooper as they advise the president on military operations.
- For Secretary Rubio and U.S. diplomats endeavoring to bring global conflicts to peaceful conclusions.
