        "summary": "US President Donald Trump has dismissed media reports claiming that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, warned against military action on Iran, branding them \"100 per cent untrue.\" Trump insisted that Caine fully supports military readiness against Iran whilst reiterating his preference for a negotiated nuclear deal, though warning of severe consequences should diplomacy fail.",
        "content": "<p>US President Donald Trump has denied recent media reports claiming\nthat a top US military general opposed war with Iran, labelling such\nreports as \u201cfake news\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Reports from several US and Israeli media outlets stated that the\nChairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, had warned\nthe Trump administration against attacking Iran.<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, Trump has repeatedly threatened to deploy US\nmilitary action should Iran fail to reach an agreement in nuclear\nnegotiations that resumed in early February.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, calling the\nmedia reports about Caine opposing a US war against Iran \u201c100 per cent\nuntrue\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany stories from the fake news media are circulating, stating that\nGeneral Daniel Caine, sometimes called Razin, opposes our war with Iran.\nThe stories do not cite anyone with extensive knowledge, and are 100 per\ncent untrue,\u201d Trump stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeneral Caine, like all of us, does not want to see war, but if the\ndecision were made to confront Iran at a military level, in his opinion,\nit would be something that would be won easily,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Trump further stated that Caine organised and oversaw the US strikes\non Iranian nuclear facilities last year, when Tehran was engaged in a\n12-day war with Israel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRazin Caine is a great fighter, and represents the most powerful\nmilitary in the world. He has never spoken about not fighting Iran, or\neven the fake limited strikes I have read about \u2014 he only knows one\nthing, and that is how to WIN, and if ordered, he will lead,\u201d Trump\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Trump then described the media reports on a potential war between the\nUS and Iran as \u201cwritten incorrectly\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything written about a potential war with Iran has been written\nincorrectly, and intentionally so,\u201d Trump alleged in his statement.<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, prominent US media outlets have reported on a\npotentially imminent US strike against Iran and have detailed the attack\nplans. These reports often concluded that no decision had yet been taken\nby Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI make the decisions. I would prefer a deal rather than no deal, but\nif we do not reach a deal, it will be a very bad day for that country \u2014\nregrettably, for its people, because they are great and wonderful.\nSomething like this should never have to happen to them,\u201d Trump affirmed\nin his statement.<\/p>",
