CENTCOM commander says US forces will not withdraw from region despite Iranian attacks

Military chiefs from Israel, the US, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and Egypt met at a German ski resort to coordinate on the Iran war. US CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper stated the US military would not withdraw its forces from the region despite continued Iranian attacks.

Why this matters. A public no-withdrawal commitment from CENTCOM signals Washington intends to sustain its regional force posture and coalition coordination rather than de-escalate troop presence amid ongoing Iranian strikes.
