US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine has reportedly warned President Donald Trump and his advisors about the potential risks of a military operation against Iran, citing concerns about weapon shortages and insufficient allied support. These warnings, detailed by "Axios" and the "Washington Post" from sources familiar with internal discussions, highlight the danger of a prolonged conflict and potential US casualties. Caine's assessment, shared in a White House meeting last week, suggests that US arms stockpiles have been depleted by aid to Israel and Ukraine, complicating any significant engagement. President Trump, however, publicly dismissed these reports as "100 percent false" on Truth Social, asserting that Caine desires no war but would be confident in victory if one were initiated, while emphasizing his own decision-making authority and preference for a deal with Iran amidst ongoing nuclear program negotiations.
