CENTCOM Commander Cooper visits Israel
CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper visited Israel on Monday and spoke to senior IDF commanders about US-Israeli military relations and the war with Iran.
Cpt.Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson for US Central Command (CENTCOM) told The Jersualem Post that reports that Cooper said during his visit to Israel that he had pushed for renewed strikes against Iran were untrue.
Hawkins told the Post that claims that Cooper had pushed for a resumption of the conflict against Iran were "an outright fabrication. It's not true at all."
