The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that its forces are rearming during the ongoing ceasefire with Iran. CENTCOM stated that American troops remain prepared for any situation. The announcement was made during a press conference where CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper said the military is adjusting its strategies, methods, and operational procedures.

Standing beside US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Cooper emphasized that no other military in the world adapts as effectively as the US forces, and that this period of ceasefire is being used to enhance readiness. The remarks followed President Donald Trump’s decision to extend the ceasefire period with Iran.

The statement reflects Washington’s intent to maintain military preparedness even amid a temporary halt in hostilities, signaling continued strategic caution in the region.
