Trump: If we don't reach an agreement, it will be a very bad day for that country and unfortunately for its people New post by Donald Trump on Truth Social: Multiple stories are being spread by fake media claiming that General Daniel Kaine, sometimes referred to as Razin, is against us going to war with Iran. These reports attribute this massive amount of information to no source whatsoever and are one hundred percent false. General Kaine, like all of us, prefers there to be no war, but if a military-level decision is made to take action against Iran, his opinion is that such a war would be easily winnable. He knows Iran well because he was in charge of "Operation Midnight Hammer" - the same attack on Iran's nuclear program. There is no longer anything called "development," as that program was completely destroyed by our massive B-2 bombers. Razin Kaine is a great fighter and represents the most powerful army anywhere in the world. He has never talked about not taking action against Iran, not even about those fake limited attacks I've read about. He only knows one thing: how to win, and if told to do so, he will lead the charge. Everything that has been written about a potential war with Iran is false and deliberately written that way. I am the one who makes the decision. I prefer to reach an agreement, but if we don't reach an agreement, that day will be a very bad day for that country and unfortunately for its people, because they are great and amazing people and such a thing should never have happened to them. ardeshir 📡 @VahidOnline

According to a report by Axios website, intense discussions are underway in the senior levels of the Trump administration about how to deal with the Islamic Republic. General Dan Kain, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as the president's senior military advisor, has warned about the consequences of a military campaign and emphasized the need for realism regarding the risks of prolonged conflict and potential casualties. While some sources report Trump's personal inclination toward carrying out a military strike, figures like Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and even JD Vance, the Vice President, have called for restraint and giving diplomacy a chance. Kushner and Witkoff believe that time is on America's side and that Trump should first assess the results of Thursday's talks in Geneva with Abbas Araghchi. Despite the cautious approach of military commanders and some cabinet members, Axios wrote, citing its sources, that Trump has only agreed to extend the negotiation deadline with the sole aim of ensuring that all diplomatic channels reach a dead end. Among senior cabinet ministers, Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, has so far refrained from taking an explicit position and has focused more on Venezuela and Cuba issues. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Wall Street Journal: Pentagon Warning About War Consequences; Shortage of Defensive Ammunition and Risk of Force Attrition The Wall Street Journal reports that the Pentagon has presented serious warnings to President Trump about the risks of a large-scale military operation against the Islamic Republic. These warnings, primarily raised by General Dan Cain, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in National Security Council meetings, emphasize risks such as potential casualties among American forces and allies, depletion of air defense reserves, and severe attrition of United States military capability. According to the Wall Street Journal report, while options on the table range from limited strikes to multi-day air campaigns to overthrow the government, military officials are concerned that a prolonged war would impose heavy costs on strategic ammunition reserves. This issue not only makes protecting regional partners against Tehran's retaliation difficult, but also overshadows America's readiness for a potential future confrontation with China. In this context and following increased concerns about Iran's response and proxy groups, the State Department on Monday issued orders to evacuate non-essential personnel and families of American embassy staff in Lebanon. The newspaper, citing military sources, writes that in case of massive Iranian missile launches, the United States has sufficient reserves of interceptor missiles (including Patriot, THAAD, and SM-3) for only "about two weeks." The experience of the 12-day war last June and the two-month operation against the Houthis in Yemen showed concerning gaps in supplying these munitions. Currently, America has deployed 13 destroyers and several defense systems in Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Israel to counter potential threats. Another part of the Wall Street Journal report focuses on the critical situation of the aircraft carrier "Gerald Ford." This carrier, which is the world's largest warship, has been on mission since last June and is setting a record for the longest continuous deployment (11 months). Naval officials warn that the ship's crew is severely stressed and tired; something that previously led to incidents and the loss of several fighter jets on the "Harry Truman" carrier. Additionally, technical problems such as defects in the Ford carrier's sewage system have made conditions more difficult for sailors. Despite these pressures, Anna Kelly, White House spokesperson, emphasized that Trump listens to diverse opinions from his national security team and will make the final decision based on national interests; a decision that officials say has not yet been finalized and partly depends on the outcome of Thursday's negotiations in Geneva.
