President Trump has denied reports that his top military adviser, General Dan Caine, urged him to abandon plans for a potential military campaign against Iran. In a post on Truth Social, Trump dismissed the claims as false and insisted that Caine would support decisive action if ordered, describing him as a strong leader ready to secure victory if conflict becomes necessary.

Despite the public show of unity, reports from multiple outlets suggest Caine privately warned that the United States faces critical ammunition shortages due to ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. He is said to have cautioned that limited allied support and strained defense resources could put American troops at significant risk in any offensive against Iran.

The administration is weighing several options, including limited military strikes aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear ambitions and pressuring its leadership into negotiations. Trump is also reportedly considering targeting Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as part of a broader strategy to force regime change.

As naval forces gather in the Persian Gulf and protests continue inside Iran, diplomatic efforts are also underway. Senior administration officials are preparing for talks with Iran’s foreign minister in Geneva, even as internal divisions and strategic uncertainty shape the debate over the next steps.
