Trump warns Iran of a ‘very bad day’ if nuclear deal falls through

WASHINGTON, United States (MNTV) – U.S. President Donald Trump has dismissed media reports claiming that Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine has been advising against military action on Iran, labeling the stories “100% incorrect” while reiterating his preference for a negotiated agreement over military confrontation.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump addressed what he termed “Fake News Media” reports suggesting Caine had been counseling the president and top officials about the potential dangers of launching a military campaign against Tehran.

“Numerous stories from the Fake News Media have been circulating stating that General Daniel Caine, sometimes referred to as Razin, is against us going to war with Iran. The story does not attribute this vast wealth of knowledge to anyone, and is 100% incorrect,” Trump wrote.

The president emphasized that the ultimate decision rests with him alone. “I am the one that makes the decision,” he stated, while leaving the door open to diplomacy. 

“I would rather have a Deal than not but, if we don’t make a Deal, it will be a very bad day for that Country and, very sadly, its people, because they are great and wonderful, and something like this should never have happened to them.”

Trump’s remarks come amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, with the administration weighing military options as nuclear negotiations show limited progress. 

Having recently indicated that clarity on a potential deal would emerge within days, the president appeared keen to project unified leadership and dispel any suggestion of discord between civilian and military decision-makers. 

The fate of Iran’s nuclear program — and broader regional stability — remains very much in the balance.
