Amid swirling rumors and mainstream media reports about a potential looming conflict in Iran, President Donald Trump has clarified the authenticity of such reports.
“Numerous stories from the Fake News Media have been circulating stating that General Daniel Caine, sometimes referred to as Razin, is against us going to War with Iran,” the president wrote on Truth Social.
He added, “The story does not attribute this vast wealth of knowledge to anyone, and is 100% incorrect. General Caine, like all of us, would like not to see War but, if a decision is made on going against Iran at a Military level, it is his opinion that it will be something easily won.”
The president explained that Gen. Caine – a leader the president referred to often while on the campaign trail – was “in charge” of the U.S. military’s successful Operation Midnight Hammer, which targeted Iranian nuclear sites last summer.
“Razin Caine is a Great Fighter, and represents the Most Powerful Military anywhere in the World,” President Trump said. “He has not spoken of not doing Iran, or even the fake limited strikes that I have been reading about, he only knows one thing, how to WIN and, if he is told to do so, he will be leading the pack.”
Rumors that Gen. Caine was generally advising about the serious risks about striking Iran, amid talks that the country was on the verge – again – of making nuclear weapons, appeared early this week.
Axios reported Gen. Caine’s alleged hesitation, citing two unnamed sources “with knowledge of those internal discussions.”
“Caine’s position could be particularly influential, because he’s Trump’s top military adviser and is highly respected by the president,” Axios claimed. “…No one is advocating for an invasion or ‘boots on the ground’ military action, the sources said.”
However, the president strongly refuted the chatter in the media.
“Everything that has been written about a potential War with Iran has been written incorrectly, and purposefully so,” the president alleged.
He added, “I am the one that makes the decision, 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 and, very sadly, its people, because they are great and wonderful, and something like this should never have happened to them.”
As reported by RSBN, President Donald Trump said last week that his decision on whether to strike Iran amid rising tensions could come within 10 days – with the countdown clock beginning last Thursday.
