U.S. Central Command Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said Thursday the United States has achieved its core military objectives under Operation Epic Fury, declaring Iran “has suffered a generational military defeat” after its more than four-decade military buildup was systematically destroyed in under 40 days.
Providing an update as a fragile ceasefire takes hold, Cooper said U.S. forces dismantled the Iranian regime’s ability to project power beyond its borders, adding, “We set out to dismantle” that capability “and we clearly accomplished this task.”

Please do more to convince the left.

The core objectives HAVE NOT been met.
Huge Defeat
In Iran, Islam needs to be beaten back on the order of 1400 years...
Now all they have to do is cut off the money for funding terror. Close Iran’s trade. I don’t care if gas is $10 a gallon. Cut them off.
Iran still seems to have missiles and drones to run Jihad all over the place.
Mopping up still happening, I suppose. They’ll be shooting at us and the neighborhood too for a while. It’s just a flesh wound. /s
Ha! The Left is deranged , impossible to reason with. They are like Carville, they hate Trump and want to hate him even more!
Xi is a cautious man, but we must ask if China did decide to use its massive navy and air force to blockade Taiwan, can the United States fight a two front war?
