Trump's statements came after reports claimed that Daniel Caine cautioned the US President that a military action against Iran could carry serious risks.

Amid the ongoing speculations regarding the possible attack on Iran by the United States, President Donald Trump refuted media reports claiming that General Daniel Caine has cautioned Washington against the war with Iran.

Taking to Truth Social, Trump said that the stories are “100 per cent incorrect" as they do not attribute “his vast wealth of knowledge." Stating that the United States could easily win the war, the US President added that Caine, like him, “would not like to see War".

“Numerous stories from the Fake News Media have been circulating stating that General Daniel Caine, sometimes referred to as Razin, is against us going to War with Iran. The story does not attribute this vast wealth of knowledge to anyone, and is 100% incorrect," Trump wrote.

“General Caine, like all of us, would like not to see War but, if a decision is made on going against Iran at a Military level, it is his opinion that it will be something easily won," he added.

“He has not spoken of not doing Iran, or even the fake limited strikes that I have been reading about; he only knows one thing, how to WIN, and, if he is told to do so, he will be leading the pack. Everything that has been written about a potential War with Iran has been written incorrectly, and purposefully so," Trump asserted.

Following this, Trump again warned Iran to come to terms with the US on the nuclear deal, and reiterated that if they failed to do so, then “it will be a very bad day for that country and, very sadly, its people."

Trump’s statements came after media reports claimed that Daniel Caine cautioned the US President and senior American officials that a military action against Iran could carry serious risks, including the possibility of becoming entangled in a prolonged conflict.

Meanwhile, the United States continues to strengthen its military presence in the region.

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has said that he is likely to meet with a US delegation in Geneva on Thursday for the next round of talks over the country’s nuclear program. Both sides have already held two rounds of negotiations so far this month aimed at reaching a deal.
