Trump briefed on military options against Iran by CENTCOM chief, source tells 'Post'

"The working assumption" is that US President Donald Trump will order a strike on Iran, Israeli and US sources told the Post.​

Commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM) Gen. Michael Kurilla met with US President Donald Trump and presented him with military options regarding Iran, a source familiar with the details told The Jerusalem Post Wednesday.

Kurilla himself supports joining Israeli strikes and is highly knowledgeable about both American operational plans and Israeli capabilities, owing to his role as CENTCOM commander, which he has held since 2022.

It is no coincidence that, according to reports, Israel wanted to carry out the strike before Kurilla leaves his position.

I hope we quickly take action and drop the bunker busters where they are most needed.

A B-52 can carry about 70,000 pounds of armaments. That's the equivalent of 14 F-35s in stealth mode or abot 3 in Beast mode. Of course, the B-52 can carry much larger individual bombs than the F-35. If the B-52 can carry the MOP then that is a fairly recent modification. A B-2 can carry two MOPs.
