CENTCOM Commander Floats Resuming Combat Ops to Hit Remaining 20% of Targets
The top US CENTCOM commander reportedly told the Pentagon and White House that a possible next step could be resuming major combat operations to strike the 20% of designated targets left untouched during Operation Epic Fury.
According to Axios correspondent Barak Ravid, the CENTCOM commander has communicated to Pentagon and White House officials that one option under consideration is restarting large-scale combat operations. The goal would be to engage the roughly 20% of military targets that were originally designated but not struck during Operation Epic Fury.
The suggestion, shared by the commander, points to unfinished objectives from the earlier operation. It remains unclear whether such a move would receive approval, but the communication indicates that military planners are still focused on completing the target list.
No further details on timing or specific target sets were provided in the report.
