**Differences emerge within U.S. military and political leadership over war strategy against Iran, pressure mounts on Trump**

Washington: Differences have emerged between the U.S. military and political leadership over the strategy regarding the ongoing military operations against Iran.

According to U.S. media reports, senior officials at the White House and the Pentagon hold differing views on how far the war against Iran should be expanded.

According to an American newspaper, the head of U.S. Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper, supports large-scale airstrikes against Iran. The report said that under his proposed plan, aerial operations could continue for nearly two weeks in order to further weaken Iran’s military capabilities.

On the other hand, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are reportedly in favor of adopting a more cautious strategy.

According to reports, both officials believe that the United States should preserve its air defense systems, particularly air defense interceptors and other critical weapons stockpiles, to avoid shortages in the event of a future major threat.

Sources said that these differences will require President Donald Trump to decide whether military operations against Iran should remain at their current level or be expanded further.

The development comes a day after President Trump indicated that the United States would respond strongly following Iran’s missile attacks on a U.S. military base in Jordan.

In an interview with an American television network, President Trump claimed that Iran had launched a surprise missile attack on a U.S. military base in Jordan. However, he said the U.S. air defense system destroyed the missiles fired by Iran within minutes.

President Trump said that the United States would take every necessary measure to protect its troops and interests and that Iran’s attacks would receive an “extremely strong response.”

According to defense analysts, these differences within the U.S. leadership reflect the sensitive stage Washington is currently facing in determining its future military strategy against Iran. They believe President Trump’s decision in the coming days could have a significant impact on the overall security situation in the region.

Defense analysts say that if Iran's claim is confirmed, it could represent a significant development in regional air defense and drone warfare, although further evidence is still awaited.

Two U.S. Soldiers Killed, Dozens Wounded in Reported Iranian Attacks on U.S. Bases in Jordan

According to U.S. officials, Iran carried out four major attacks against U.S. forces in Jordan over the past five days, killing two American soldiers, injuring dozens more, and damaging several helicopters.

The continued attacks reportedly indicate that Iran possesses a substantial missile arsenal and has improved its ability to evade U.S. air defense systems.

Officials said the first attack targeted a residential building at King Faisal Air Base, injuring at least five U.S. personnel.

A second strike reportedly targeted a base in eastern Jordan where U.S. Black Hawk helicopters were stationed, causing heavy damage to several aircraft.

Iranian missiles later reportedly struck Muwaffaq Al-Salt Air Base (Azraq), where about 20 U.S. soldiers sheltering in bunkers were injured, though no fatalities were reported.

The same base was reportedly attacked again on Friday, killing two U.S. soldiers and injuring four others. Some personnel sustained minor injuries and returned to duty after medical examinations.

Officials said that during the early stages of the conflict, the Pentagon had relocated troops from Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE to Jordan and Israel, considering them safer locations. However, they said the situation has since changed, with Jordan becoming the primary hub for U.S. operations in the Middle East after Gulf countries reportedly restricted the use of their airspace by U.S. aircraft.

Earlier, CENTCOM acknowledged that two U.S. soldiers had been killed and several others wounded in reported Iranian ballistic missile attacks in Jordan.

According to CENTCOM, U.S. and allied forces were defending against Iranian ballistic missiles and drones on July 17 when two American soldiers were killed, while one remains missing.

Previously, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that it had targeted the Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan.

The IRGC claimed that missile and drone strikes destroyed two fighter jets and three U.S. aircraft, while also hitting fighter jet shelters and parking ramps at the base.
