Warnings from Chairman of Joint Chiefs to Trump About War with Iran

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Kain, warned President Donald Trump about the risks of potential military action against Iran. According to U.S. media, Kain's concerns include the possibility of the U.S. becoming involved in a prolonged conflict, as well as shortages of crucial weapons and limited support from allies. Kain reportedly expressed his concerns at a meeting at the White House with Trump and his advisors, pointing out that U.S. weapons reserves have been depleted due to support for Israel and Ukraine. He also expressed concerns about potential U.S. casualties in the event of military intervention. Trump dismissed the reports through a social media post, calling them “100% false” and accusing the media of spreading fake news. He argued that Kain does not oppose a war with Iran, but simply does not want to see war. Trump emphasized that he is the only one who makes decisions and prefers an agreement with Iran. The United States and Iran are in negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program, and a new round of talks is expected in Geneva on Thursday. The situation remains tense, and the possibility of military conflict remains real, despite efforts for a diplomatic resolution.
