US Central Command (CENTCOM) commander Admiral Brad Cooper stated that Iran acts from desperation and has targeted civilians more than 300 times. Iranian fire has slowed in the fourth week of the conflict.

Cooper said the US campaign is on schedule and that missile and drone production sites are being targeted. He emphasized it is not yet time for Iranian civilians to go outside.

The admiral pointed to a striking contrast - generals are in deep bunkers while ordinary soldiers remain unprotected in the open.
