Cooper argued that without content like this, Iran would normally struggle to know whether its strikes actually worked, thanks to jamming and other tactics the US military uses in conflict zones. He put it bluntly, saying Iran’s forces typically have no way of knowing whether a strike missed by 50 meters, hit empty ground, or struck a crowded facility. When news outlets publish detailed breakdowns of what was hit, Cooper wrote, they are essentially handing Iran a free damage assessment.
