—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: Axios reports that the Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, is urging President Trump not to strike Iran, stating that any war with Iran would likely lead to a 'prolonged conflict' with consequences that are hard to predict

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump in a long post on Truth Social:

'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. 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 knows Iran well in that he was in charge of Midnight Hammer, the attack on the Iranian Nuclear Development. It is a Development no longer, but rather, was blown to smithereens by our Great B-2 Bombers.

Razin Caine is a Great Fighter, and represents the Most Powerful Military anywhere in the World. 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.

I am the one that makes the decision, I would rather have a Deal than not but, if we don’t make a Deal, it will be a very bad day for that Country and, very sadly, its people, because they are great and wonderful, and something like this should never have happened to them.'

ممنون خانم "حجازى" پور

Context:

A woman makes fun of Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, implying he isn't Iranian because 'Araq' (Iraq) is part of his name.

The irony is, her own last name is 'Hejazi' Pour, and Hejaz is a region in Saudi Arabia.

'I'm aware of that account. I haven't thought of just going to a cafeteria. I've thought of just ordering lots of pizza on random nights just to throw everybody off. Some Friday night when you see a bunch of Domino's orders, it might just be me on an app throwing the whole system off.'
