President Trump took to Truth Social to push back on reports suggesting his top general, Gen. Dan “Raizin” Caine, had been urging caution about possible military action against Iran. The president wanted to set the record straight himself.
Reports had indicated that General Caine, who serves as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had expressed serious concerns to senior administration officials. These concerns reportedly included the risks of a military campaign against Iran, potential casualties, strain on air defenses, and the possibility of an already stretched military becoming overworked.
