US President Donald Trump has stated that the media is intentionally distorting information regarding a potential war with Iran, emphasizing his preference for a diplomatic resolution over military escalation.
According to Operative Information Center-OMM, citing foreign media reports, the president dismissed recent allegations of imminent conflict as fabricated narratives designed to mislead the public.
"Everything written about a possible war with Iran is not true and is done intentionally. This is my decision; I would prefer to reach an agreement, but if we do not, it will be very bad for this country and, unfortunately, for its people," US President Donald Trump noted.
The president also addressed media claims suggesting that General Daniel Kane, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, does not support the initiation of a campaign against Iran. He characterized these reports as false, clarifying the military leadership's position.
"General Kane, like all of us, does not want war, but he believes that if a decision is made to confront Iran militarily, it will be an easy victory," the president emphasized. He added that General Kane has no objections to military operations, has not spoken against limited strikes, and will lead the operation if the order is given.
Relations between Washington and Tehran have remained a focal point of global geopolitics, often characterized by economic sanctions and diplomatic tension. The US administration has consistently maintained a policy of "maximum pressure" while simultaneously signaling an openness to negotiate a new comprehensive deal regarding Iran's nuclear program and regional activities. This latest clarification from the White House underscores the complex balance between military readiness and the stated preference for a negotiated settlement in the Middle East.
