CENTCOM chief presents Trump with 'final blow' strike options against Iran

The commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM) has briefed President Donald Trump on potential “final blow” strike options against Iran, Fox News reported on Thursday.

Admiral Brad Cooper presented the possible options during a briefing with Trump in the Situation Room, outlining a “short and powerful wave of strikes” should the president decide to resume combat operations.

The assessed targets reportedly include Iran’s “remaining military assets, leadership and infrastructure,” the broadcaster added.

The Pentagon is also considering deploying advanced weapons systems, including a new hypersonic missile known as “Dark Eagle,” according to Fox News.

The broadcaster said the system is capable of striking targets up to 2,000 miles (3,218 kilometres) away, potentially targeting remaining ballistic missile launchers.
