CENTCOM Commander Tells Congress Iran Proxies Hamas Hezbollah and Houthis Are All Cut Off From Iranian Weapons Supply
CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper testified that months of U.S. military operations have severed Iran weapons transfer routes to Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, reducing Iran defense industry capacity by 90 percent and leaving it with only 10 percent of its drone stockpile. Cooper emphasized the result was the culmination of careful planning built on decades of experience, though he conceded Iran retains a small capability to continue strikes in the region.
