WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Kaine would lead a possible strike on Iran if ordered to do so, adding that he would prefer to make a deal.
Last week, at a White House meeting, D.C. Kaine warned that the shortage of critical munitions and the lack of support from allies could pose a grave risk to American troops in the event of an attack on Iran. This was reported on Monday by the Washington Post, citing sources familiar with the discussions.
In a statement released Friday, D. Kaine's office said that as the president's principal military adviser, the JCS chairman "provides civilian leaders making decisions about America's security with a range of military options, as well as secondary considerations and their associated consequences and risks."
The next round of US-Iran talks is scheduled for Thursday in Geneva and is expected to focus on Iran's nuclear program, including uranium enrichment levels and sanctions relief.
No significant progress was achieved during the previous two rounds of negotiations. –0–
