For some time, there have been reports that America may attack Iran. Many American officials also claimed that US President Donald Trump is thinking about options to take action against Iran. However, US President Trump has rejected all these claims.
He stressed that if ordered, any such operation could be easily won. At the same time, senior Democratic lawmakers called it a move towards another war in the Middle East. Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social, ‘There are many stories circulating in the fake news media that General Daniel Caine, sometimes known as Razin, is against our war with Iran.’ He called this reporting 100 percent wrong.
According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, the Pentagon expressed concern to Trump about the long military campaign against Iran. The Pentagon has advised that the war options being considered involve the risk of harm to America and allied countries and weak air defense.
According to the Daily Report, current and former officials said that these warnings were mostly given by General Dan Kane, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, inside the Defense Department and during the National Security Council meetings. Trump wrote, ‘General Kane, like all of us, would not like to see war, but if a decision is made to move militarily against Iran, his opinion is that it would be easily won.’
He said that Kane has not talked about not attacking Iran, or even about those fake limited strikes that I have been reading about, he only knows one thing, how to win and if he was asked to do so, he would be on the front lines.
Trump said, ‘I am the one who takes the decisions. I would rather have a compromise than no compromise. If we don’t make a deal, it will be very sad for that country. It will be a very bad day for his people, because they are amazing and this should never have happened to them. During this, the President also mentioned the previous strike and said that Kaine was in charge of Midnight Hammer, which was an attack on Iranian nuclear development. This is no longer a development, but was blown up by our great B-2 bombers.
The comments came amid massive political protests on Capitol Hill. US Senator Chris Coons, ranking member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, said, ‘Less than a year after the US attack on Iran’s nuclear program, President Trump has deployed a major military agglomeration of air and naval power within Iran’s reach. There is a danger of military action due to this.
He raised questions on the motive of the government. “Congress and the American people deserve answers about what our objectives are in Iran,” Coons said. He further said that Americans have the right to know what President Trump’s motives are, how he will make Americans safer, and how any military conflict will end.
The American senator accepted that Iran cannot be allowed to make nuclear weapons. Coons warned, ‘We cannot expect that an attack by America will force Iran to give up its dream of developing nuclear weapons. This is not a strategy, because of this the lives of American soldiers will be in danger.
Congressman Seth Moulton also opposed the use of force. He said, ‘Trump is preparing to attack Iran and involve America in Iraq War 2.0. What do they think they will achieve and at what cost? As of now, we have no idea.
Moulton argued that the only reason we don’t have a deal is because Trump broke it in his first term. Now it’s up to Congress to stop George W. Must muster more courage than when Bush misled America in Iraq.
