The Pentagon is sending serious warnings to President Trump, saying that any extended military campaign against Iran could be far more costly and complicated than many people realize. The concerns include U.S. and allied casualties, air defense systems running low, and military forces being stretched too thin.
According to The Wall Street Journal, General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has largely led these discussions, voicing worries within the Defense Department and during National Security Council meetings. Other Pentagon leaders share similar concerns. Officials stress the significant scale of these risks, even as such warnings are a normal part of military planning.
