Trump denies reports of military leader opposing war with Iran

Khaberni - U.S. President Donald Trump attacked what he described as "fake news" claiming that General Daniel Keane (Razin) opposes his country entering a war with Iran, affirming that these reports are "pure fabrication".
Trump wrote on his platform "Truth Social": "Recently, many fake news media have claimed that General Daniel Keane, sometimes known as Razin, opposes our entry into a war with Iran. These news are unattributed to any source and are pure fabrication".

The U.S. President praised General Keane, noting that he "like others, does not want war, but believes that if a decision is made to confront Iran militarily, victory will be easy".

Trump revealed that Keane was responsible for the operation "Midnight Hammer" targeting the Iranian nuclear program, affirming that the program "is no longer under development, but was completely destroyed by our giant B-2 bombers".

Trump added: "Razin Keane is a skilled military leader, representing the strongest military in the world. He has never spoken about not confronting Iran, nor the alleged limited strikes I've read about; he knows only one thing: how to win, and if asked, he will be at the forefront of the victors".

Trump concluded his statement by sending a message to Iran, saying: "Everything written about a potential war with Iran is written incorrectly, and deliberately so. I am the decision-maker, and I prefer to reach an agreement than not, but if we do not reach an agreement, it will be a hard day for that country, and unfortunately for its people too, because they are great and wonderful, and nothing like this should ever happen to them".
