2:18Now PlayingPresident Trump is tightening the noose on Iran and summoned his top military commander to signal to Tehran that it’s time to make a deal.
CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper is reportedly briefing Trump Thursday about military strategy, but experts tell The Post there was a bigger message at play.
“It was a signal to Iran and a political trial balloon to the US,” a former administration official said.
That signal: Tehran should come to the table and make a peace deal or face more US military might.
