President Donald Trump on Monday denied reports that the top US military officer had flagged the risks of a major operation against Iran, saying Washington would “easily” beat Tehran in any war.

US media reported that General Dan Caine, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, had warned of various risks associated with strikes against Iran, including a long-term entanglement.

But Trump said on his Truth Social network that it was “100 per cent incorrect” that Caine was “against us going to war with Iran“. (AFP)
