US admiral says Iran’s ability to threaten neighbors dramatically degraded

(Reuters/Al Arabiya) Iran’s ability to threaten its neighbors and US interests has been dramatically reduced by US bombings, and Tehran’s defense industry has been set back by 90 percent, a senior US admiral said on Thursday. Adm. Brad Cooper, head of US Central Command, sought to underscore the tactical successes of the military campaign against Iran that he oversaw and said the war had dramatically reduced the danger posed by that country to the broader Middle East. – US admiral says Iran’s ability to threaten neighbors dramatically degraded
