Trump fumes over 'fake' reports top general claimed US is headed to war

Summary
President Donald Trump raged on Monday at alleged "fake news" reports that his administration is considering going to war with Iran. Speculation grew last week that the Trump administration would approve a new series of strikes against Iran. The New York Times reported on Sunday that Trump administration officials met in the Situation Room last Wednesday to discuss their options. Negotiators from Iran are scheduled to meet with their U.S. counterparts this week to go over a final offer, the Times reported. On Monday, Trump posted on Truth Social that reports of the U.S. going to war with Iran are "fake news." "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," Trump posted. "The story does not attribute this vast wealth of knowledge to anyone, and is 100% incorrect. General Caine, like all of us, would like not to see war, but if a decision is made on going against Iran at a Military level, it is his opinion that it will be something easily won."Last year, the Trump administration approved a series of strikes against three of Iran's nuclear facilities and claimed they were "totally destroyed" in the process. "Everything that has been written about a potential War with Iran has been written incorrectly, and purposefully so," Trump's post continued. "I am the one that makes the decision, 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."
