US Central Command (Centcom), which is leading the war on Iran, has released a message on social media stating that its “forces remain ready”.

Accompanied by a video clip featuring warplanes, ships and US troops, Centcom Commander Admiral Brad Cooper is featured at an updated news conference with US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.

“We are rearming. We’re retooling, and we’re adjusting our tactics, techniques and procedures,” Cooper says at the conference.

“There is no military in the world that adjusts like we do, and that’s exactly what we’re doing right now during the ceasefire,” he said.
