U.S. President Donald Trump posted on social media on February 23, stating that reports claiming Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley opposes military strikes against Iran are false. Trump said he “prefers to reach an agreement with Iran,” but if no deal is reached, it will be “a very bad day for Iran.” Trump called reports that Milley opposes U.S. military action against Iran “100% false” and accused some media outlets of spreading “fake news.” He stated that Milley, like “all of us,” does not want to see war, but if the U.S. decides to take military action against Iran, Milley believes “it would be an easy victory.” Milley has never said he would not go to war with Iran. Trump also emphasized that the final decision on whether to use force against Iran “rests with me.” (CCTV News)
