Trump Denies Top Military Advisor Opposes U.S. Strike on Iran
President Donald Trump dismissed reports claiming Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Daniel “Razin” Caine opposes potential U.S. military action against Iran, calling the stories “100% incorrect.” In a Truth Social post, Trump countered an alleged report that Caine had warned administration officials about risks of prolonged conflict if the United States were to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.
“The story does not attribute this vast knowledge to anyone and is 100% incorrect,” Trump wrote in the post.
Trump emphasized Caine’s experience, stating he “was in charge of Midnight Hammer, the attack on the Iranian Nuclear Development” that Trump claimed “was blown to smithereens by our Great B-2 Bombers.” He added: “Razin Caine is a Great Fighter and represents the Most Powerful Military anywhere in the World.”
The debate comes as Trump weighs options against Iran amid stalled nuclear negotiations and a significant U.S. military buildup in the Middle East. Recent sources indicate that Caine has been the only military leader briefing Trump in recent weeks.
Still, Trump made it clear that the ultimate decision rests with him: “I am the one that makes the decision,” he wrote. “I would rather have a Deal than not but, if we don’t make a Deal, it will be a very bad day for that Country.”
