NEW YORK, July 30. /TASS/. The Commander of US Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper, has prepared a plan for a large-scale air campaign against Iran that could last up to two weeks, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports, citing sources.

US President Donald Trump has not yet decided on further military action against the Islamic Republic, according to the sources. He may approve Cooper’s proposal, in which case US forces would carry out intensive bombing of Iran for 10 to 14 days despite dwindling US stockpiles of air defense munitions, in an effort to weaken the country’s missile capabilities. Trump could also opt for limited strikes in the hope of preserving a path to a diplomatic settlement.

Cooper believes the US military should increase the intensity of its attacks to turn the situation around, while Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine takes a more cautious view, the newspaper said. Caine is concerned about the depletion of US interceptor missile stocks.

Trump previously said the United States intended to continue striking the Islamic Republic.
